The Haze

Where was I in this haze

Grey and blue like a maze

Streaks of orange and red

In a trance I was led

Was it inside or outside

the haze now spread from all sides

Yet I saw a light so bright

In the twilight I saw light

Amidst the haze and color

In complete awestruck wonder

Even as it shook my demeanor

I knew then I had to surrender

The light attractive and bright

Was there, yet so far from sight

Lost I was I felt great plight

In this essence I sought delight

Was I a part of it

Or was it a part of me

That close it was

Now no longer sure

Was it all inside

or was it all outside

Where was this in entirety

In my mind or was it a dream?

Not yet sure where I was

Was the haze within me?

Where then was the light so bright?

I then knew…it was me…

I saw the infinite light

trapped in a haze of illusion

even as the haze moved aside

the colors no longer bright

All I could see with delight

Was a plain white light

Deep within with delight

joy and surrender felt so light
