Clouded Fate

The morning sun shines brightly on
Each restless soul
as the night sky gives way
To a new day;
A new day full of
Opportunities that are
Ignored because of the
Rose-colored glasses we wear.
Thousands of snap judgements lead
The journey to the ultimate goal of
Establishing a meaning for life
And the complexities hidden within.
Yet controversy rules the day with the
Feeling of inadequacy caused by the
Jaded opinions and misinterpretations of
What has happened so many years in the past.
The ability to focus on what is in store
Lingers on the fingertips of the unfortunate
Individuals who have yet to realize the
Dark truths of this world.
Yet to visualize such depth is
Out of our reach, and each
Attempt to capture that power
Brings us one step closer to
Our final destination.
The definitive realization of
What we are all about,
And the chance to comprehend is
Everything but apparent
Through the eyes of the lost.
