The Question

by Ryan Bauer

What will be my accomplishment,
loosing these cold fires upon my psyche...
Will I have an end?

Will I have a beginning?
I do not know if I am anymore.
Alive
or dead.
Both or niether.
Am I?
[...]

I can only continue
to look upon foreign vistas
beyond aethereal threshholds,
my hand grasping
the solid doorhandle at my side


I hold on as my bright eyes
open to swallow the dark view:


faded flashes
saturate all existence,

engulfing forces
inside the mind;


flickering pulses dissonate,
each time unfocused.



Dimly I see a tempest wind
and struggle to interpret myself.

A mouth barely makes itself heard
over the sound and the fury.


This is my voice,

but is it me?

Author's Note: This poem is a contemplation within a dream(not literally, but if I could choose my dreams I would dream this), and it is showing self-conflict, and identity definition.
