Whispers in the Mist

Navigating the Enigmatic Maze of the Mind

Caught in a haze,

I wander through a mental maze,

Thoughts drift like autumn leaves,

Silent whispers that deceive.

Words slip through my fingers,

Echoes of what once lingers,

A mind in a perpetual mist,

Grasping for what’s missed.

Clarity, a fleeting friend,

Blurs at every bend,

Memories play hide and seek,

In shadows they peek.

Lost in a foggy daydream,

Reality, a distant beam,

Navigating through the blur,

A journey unsure.

Eyes open but vision veiled,

A sailor with no wind sailed,

Guided by a phantom light,

Through the endless night.

Yet within this cloudy sphere,

Moments of light appear,

A spark, a sudden gleam,

A reminder to dream.

In the fog, I find my way,

A dance of night and day,

Embracing the unknown,

In the mist, I've grown.
