Drifting Away

Alone in a vast ocean of nothing,
thoughts haunting me,tugging relentlessly.
Memories of something vague yet certain,
a feeling I have trouble reconciling.

Set against an azure sky,
drifting like clouds to eternity.
I dreamt a dream of vivid life.
only to awaken to painful uncertainty.

How have I gone this far?
Every fork ahead a question.
How has the truth eluded me?
A blind man in an uncaring world.

Drifting away to memory,
then slowly ebbing to nothing.
Something must mean something.
Anything can mean anything.

Drifting away with this feeling,
drifting away from this feeling.
If only I remember what it was,
if only I remember....
