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.

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.
