Brought to light
Eyes stapled to the wall, blots of colour sheen over
my focus in a bitter display of mechanical philosophies.
Questions revive in the springtime, enveloped in dust.
The hollow hunt for answers grinds to life once more,
rusted cogs pressured into movement by obligation.
Mind whirling into paradoxes, I struggle with tangled
webs of knotted threads that squirm in their hast
to be set free. Each one leads to understanding.
Sleep is both a curse and a blessing,
neon bolts through my veins.
Lips tremble at the taste of freedom of thought,
the shackles around frontal lobes breaking.
Irises contract with the sudden burst of light;
in this fragile skeleton with my blood running weak,
I've never felt this powerful.
In the spring, all is brought to light.
Entered in 'The winds of change' competition.
my focus in a bitter display of mechanical philosophies.

This is an amazing piece scribbler. It's odd how profound epiphanies come and go as such. There is so much I can relate to in this poem , that I don't even know where to begin. All three verses have so much insightful ,and serene content. Thanks for the read dude.
