My life goes by in the unconscious passage of time.
Like walking blindly through a dark tunnel,
each foot propelling the other unknowingly forward.
With each blurred step,
vague in my memory,
like a shadow from a dream,
the fear that haunts me
is the blink of an eye.
That 10 years have passed,
wandering blindly through the dark.
That 30 have sailed away,
in an unworldly muddled blur.
That 50 have escaped me,
trudging through oblivion.
That years went by in an afternoon.
And I kept walking just to walk,
and at the very end, there was nothing.
