lost in the days
taken by surprise
in the looking glass
that has always been there
like waking from a dream
that was never yours
pondering how the past has led
to the state of present being
that i have chosen
or should i say
has chosen me
the people, the places,
the circumstances that react and dissolve
the things you hold on to
with a gentle touch or a death grip
throughout the days
or throughout the years
finding the little treasures
in day to day life
that help open your eyes each day
to face another
the girl you met the day before
the new trivial happening that occupies time
or maybe it's the wonder that drives you
that something new will happen this day
changing your perception of reality
of being
or just to look at a single object
in a different light
slowing time to a crawl
just to watch a single occurrence
that you've seen thousands of times before
just to find a better understanding
done for the rant of the day, catch me tomorrow for perhaps another epiphany that fizzles out into an LJ post that will be lost in the code of internet, alas i should do this more often, as a hobbit, i do not interact with people on a level above drunken chatter on a saturday night, so a computer screen that i may spill rattled thoughts onto might uncompress this tattered mind
