keep moving forward one step at a time

don't look happiness in the eye she's a shy and 
fickle creature
broken hearts fall apart in the dark or through 
poetic art
memories they cling like wet silk on warm skin

I crawled through the keyhole that unlocks my mind
just to see what was on the other side 
there lay a landscape without a horizon
grey, undulating and infinite
no defining lines of black an white
no arrows of yellow on the asphalt to show the way

has there ever been a trap as to match the trap of love
It's all smoke and mirrors a magicians slight of hand
a carefully crafted illusion
welcome to the the dance

cast aside caught up in the tangled web of life
hard to live with the regrets 
where do I go from here I asked the man behind the curtain 
anywhere 
just pick a direction and keep moving forward one step at a time

And there's probably more there ....... Okay I'll worry ,They may be right.... I am Mad as a Hatter !!!

... If my house were to land in the Land of Oz, I would be hard-pressed to attain better advice than this.

Keyhole crawling?
