Seems I haven’t listened recently,

taken the time,

found my rhythm,

played the riffs of my

existential pathway to the world I choose to live in by the way …

have you noticed

how easily drawn in

our lives may become

when one simple rule

is put aside,

sort of like a long and distant ramble that gets us nowhere.

Seems I haven’t listened recently

and all my baggage,

packed and thrown about in disarray

accentuates the blues I live today,

looking,

waiting,

not feeling, or feeling far too much to even understand

why I feel anything at all.

Heard it before,

of course you have,

that’s the way it is when we are one step

one breath,

one mindless thought away from understanding

what it is,

how our state of mind,

how we decide to go about thinking

again,

that day happens when

afterward

we can reflect and ascertain

just how we got there

For now,

just a blues

step away
