Dancing in a fog
Releasing my current state of mind
I feel like I am dancing in a fog,
a dance I used to know,
but the steps slip away,
the tune half-remembered,
out of reach.
Perhaps the melody has changed,
updated without me,
whilst I was busy mourning,
busy grieving,
busy crying,
busy counting the countless
mistakes I could not undo.
I grew smaller each day,
more fragile,
as though alive yet not living,
hidden in a cave
where light no longer reached,
where time spoke only of loss.
What happened to me?
How did the music fade?
Will I ever emerge from this fog
to move freely again,
to find the rhythm I once knew,
to let the world
be bright with my song?
