Like ancient mariners charts; regions unknown...

Darkness defining waking perceptions...

Haphazard setting; ordinary items assembled by chance

Object far, desire near, path unclear.

Discomfort dominating discourse of internal mind.

From simple actions, faithfully repeated...

Passions appear through stained glass -

Heart pining to be bathed in colour

Ripples shimmer across the azure glass

Intimate warmth infused in morning breeze

Forbearance foremost virtue: badge of honour

Winds of change, wax and wane - never ceasing

Clouds of inadequacy routinely congregate

Rich vein of awe, entombed by experience sour

Objective feature or willed to be
