Sideway Smiles

Lost on a cobbled street
slick with moss
under a charcoal sky

unfamiliar sites and sounds
somewhere in the distance
a bell tolls

Paranoia sets in
thinking it rings for me
descending down darkened passages

forgotten in a maze
a sea of faces
smile sideways at me

I seek you out
in the fog
of the misty morn

though you're not to be found
I follow scraps of thoughts
left behind carelessly

wrapped around my mind
like a twisted knot
one I can't undo

I travel on
searching the empties
finding myself in a vacant place

so maddening is this journey
realizing all the streets
lead one way, all back to me

sojourning in a place of self discovery
retracing my steps
I find myself home
