Sunday Muse -- Not used
My (Our) Heading
Seeing another time is scary
Are we looking ahead or behind
Or to the left or to the right
Perhaps upwards or woefully down
I (we) see with the eyes and with the mind
What's with the eyes is generally real
But with my mind I cannot trust
There enters fear and emotions
Flavored by the other senses
Is it real or do I imagine
Life is complicated we must cope
Sleep and day dreams will give relief
Thinking of all this and more is too much
I'm giving in and will float with time
Doing that is hard if one must think
A third parameter enters in
My body's needs must be sustained
Here desires too play a part
These two are life's rudders and paddles
Stay on my pad of ice there's no brake
When the ice melts things will fastly change
Am I the dog who can swim to shore
Or the cat who hasn't learned to swim
Can there be a miracle to come
Surely one is needed else I die

- This is not a finished writing and I do not intend to finish. Somewhere in the process I lost track of my ending and then I couldn't get back to it fast or efficiently. I have its replacement here,
It may not be much better.
