Shadows and Light

Solitude is the air
that I breathe
on a journey to
the center of mind
of self where all
seems serene until
intrusions come
from strange situations
absurd and obscene
eternally chances are
it’s not too late to turn
back time to re-calibrate
cognition to learn by intuition
sensing the scene from
a place of power with
inner visions going around
and around from pillar
to post when all is lost
at such a cost for these
invisible thoughts hovering
in the shadows waiting
for the light of day
