Earnestness: Searching

Longing to know
I’m here
After having
Lost my way,

Battling amnesia
Amidst the play,
Laughing heartily one minute
And glumly stomping ‘round the next;

Everything’s up in the air,
Not sure what’s the text
Or if there’s a script.
Who’s in it?

Looking around
Half dazed
But feeling aware,
Sometimes it hurts to be so alert,

Other times this consciousness
Feels like fog or numbness,
Old and new interchange,
Remembering and forgetting merge;

An energy surge,
Floating on the waves,
Up and down,
Off and on;

The mental headlights flicker,
Mesmerizing strobes
Flash forth in multiple colours,
Rainbows of light gleam,

The glow rises and falls
Like the sun,
Shining on everything
And everyone
Until all is done.
