Shades of Blue and Green

Sometimes I feel so alone and bereft

Unfailingly sure I have been misplaced on this earth and in this time

While whispers of spent moments and rivets of elapsed minutes

Flash in my ears and before my eyes like a clock as it strikes and chimes.

Is it unique to feel this way? My mind explodes

And wonders if I’m so very different or if everyone

Encounters such an overload of sensations and questions

Leading to a foreboding sense, wondering what can be done.

Bright blues and greens envelop me each day and night

Like a peacock’s proud, fervent strength and power

And without a doubt, I know that I am thoroughly wrapped

In a veil of sheer force that’s twisting and will surely devour.

Mixed, vivid colors exploding with need and focus

And a need to reset this foundation upon which I tread

To ensure that the path I choose is steady and profound

As I move forward despite a fear of impending dread.

Can it be that my soul was accidentally switched, I wonder

Switched and misplaced along with another unfortunate soul

Who, too, lingers and searches midst colors of blue and green

While walking elsewhere on this earth in search of being whole.
