"Steering a course"

I received this new poem from Paul last week.  - poetheart 02/09/02

I find myself alone
In contemplation over the
Reality I have chosen
Or the reality chosen for me

As I embark on another mission
Another day, another passion
I can’t stop but to think
Where does it end

When do I take control
And when will I give it back
And give it away forever

How temporary this is
And how extraneous my
Thoughts are in relation

To my presence on this earth
As if by the substance
of Pain and lethargy

Insolent in my own realm
Trying to overcome and
Permeate this maze
That just never ends
