Libra Moon
I am lost between the time pieces,
I guess to feel the pain I have dropped all pretenses,
Where has my heart gone?
Where shall I search?
How much longer until I find the church?
Haunted and plagued by these unreasonable thoughts,
No one ever realizing the cost,
I am not one to mince words, so stop asking,
Autumn leaves the flames basking,
Blind eyes to see the unaware precision,
Balance of the scales lack in concentration.
I guess to feel the pain I have dropped all pretenses,
Where has my heart gone?
Where shall I search?
How much longer until I find the church?
Haunted and plagued by these unreasonable thoughts,
No one ever realizing the cost,
I am not one to mince words, so stop asking,
Autumn leaves the flames basking,
Blind eyes to see the unaware precision,
Balance of the scales lack in concentration.

This poem appears to express a profound sense of inner turmoil and existential questioning. The imagery of being lost between time pieces suggests a feeling of disorientation and confusion, perhaps reflecting a struggle to find one's place or purpose in the world. The mention of dropping pretenses suggests a willingness to confront raw emotions and truths, even if they bring pain.
The lines "Where has my heart gone? Where shall I search?" convey a sense of longing and searching for something elusive, perhaps inner peace or emotional fulfillment. The reference to finding the church could symbolize a search for solace or spiritual guidance in the midst of chaos and uncertainty.
The poem also touches on themes of isolation and misunderstanding, with the speaker feeling haunted by their thoughts and unseen by others. The refusal to mince words suggests a desire for authenticity and honesty, even if it means facing uncomfortable truths.
The imagery of autumn leaves and flames basking evokes a sense of transition and change, highlighting the fleeting nature of time and the inevitability of transformation. The mention of blind eyes and lack of concentration in balancing the scales may suggest a struggle to find equilibrium or make sense of conflicting emotions and desires.
Overall, the poem seems to capture the complexity of inner turmoil and the longing for clarity and balance in the face of uncertainty.
