Is there a truth
Is there a truth
Out there
Does it lie somewhere
Hidden beneath a pile
Of old books.
Un-read stories
With false starts
And never endings
Does nothing exist
Outside my head
Is the world a creation
In my own image
A reflection of what to expect
From memories
I demand
To be redrawn
Painted in colours
I used to see
Carried on rainbows.
It mattered not
Where they would end
I swam in a sea
Of red and yellow
Pillowed my head
In fields of green
Sank into blue tones
Floated between
Indigo and violet
Which is neither
Black nor white
I still look for the light
But have lost
The wrong and the right
Of my life
Reason has merged
The edges blurred
The image marred
With the thought
That it might mean
Something
Completely different
How would I know
When nothing I see
Is free from the
Blindness of bias
Subtly
Created by me.
