6. Frightening Exercises
It’s the time when there appears
To be no future although I always
Look forward to the tomorrow and
Another tomorrow as a potent harvest
I try to push the day and another
Day and another with my strong
Imaginative images, mostly of
My own creation and to my dismay
I am often successful
Now if I ask why I am doing
This, creating images day in and
Day out, I get no answer. Instead, my mind
Rapidly shows some more subtle images,
Some fearful too. I get lost in this
Maze of images, without stopping
Keep searching my face and, no, no other
Face, since all other faces that
I have seen I can recollect anytime.
This endless exercise gives purpose to my days,
To my nights, to my consciousness, to my
Conscience and life seem full.
I hate to live an empty life.
