Kaleidoscope Dream, May 2021

Spinning around

And feeling trapped

Am I doing

What it is that I should be

Can’t find the way

out of my own brain

So many options to see

And then there is the impulse

to retreat

and go within

Padded in a blanket fort

Until loneliness

sets in

Sometimes it’s like I’ve lost my paddles

While others

are finding new shores

And here I sit

in my rowboat

Directionless

As I float

But to trust my internal compass

will recalibrate

And to my surprise

and delight

What currently

may seem hidden

Will once again

Return to sight
