I watch the scene
from within my mind.
But see only past memories
I cannot find.
I can neither look back
nor straight ahead.
And my heart, it feels
as heavy as lead.
On my back I lay
and watch the dark sky.
But how I am floating
I cannot tell you why.
I'm being spellbound
by things I do not yet know.
So keep me close
and don't let me go.
But now it seems
that I must choose
between a battle I must win
or a loved one
that I fear I shall lose.
