Way

I'm slipping into a world I don’t know, I'm going in a way that doesn’t show, I try to weave hope into the maze, I look for a pathway through the haze. I open the door to my abode, A deluge makes an inroad, I'm in a tumultuous session, In a world beyond view and comprehension. I'm a portrait of sombre colours, My chamber is patterned with contours, I work to assemble my thoughts, They are bricks of varied sorts. Dawn chauffeurs me this way, Little do I know about it to say, Its volume is sculpted in obscurity, Its details coalesce in veiled security. April 24, 2023, Writing Challenge - 'W' Words - Poetry Contest, Constance La France.

The course of a tumbleweed depends on the wind, Best to have a direction in life, Thompson. I know you do in reality. I read you all of the time but these were my thoughts after reading your poem.
