Staring through
rose-colored-glasses
at a world gone white
leaked of its color
lost of its impression
inspiring none
but the blind
who need not see
to have the vision

Trying to force vibrancy
on the currents
of a wind
sea
land
that chooses to be ignored
and wants not
the feebly executed
renditions of life
we blindly attempt
to create

and so we strain
in vain
to find the clarity
within the smoke
and mirrors
while the blind see
the deaf hear
and only the dead
feel alive

Lost and found…
and lost

and we stumble on

this is strange, it weaves blindness and vision into one, makes it feel like either doesn't matter.. stumbling all the same, in a pointless game. but if the poem itself has been written, it implies something more, the speaker seeks to find it, or perhaps

just longs for it silently. that speaker.. would have to be you.. lol. whether or not intended.. the utter hopelessness and pointlessness of the feelings and visions brought me to thinking, there must be a light out there somewhere, keep going. :) cool pi

The name fits the poem. It feels like I am lost in the wilderness during an earthquake.~Mikey

Whoa, a side of your writings I have never seen. I like the dim atomsphere.. Very different from most of your works. Yet I believe this to be in my favourite three. These past two have been much, much darker. Provoking. +T.P.U+
