Restless

the mind weaves
between the brilliant flashes;
fingers grasping deftly
at nothing,
trying to stop me
from freefalling
into the depths;
where i know
i lose myself
to questions and doubt;
you set me off balance
bearings lost
burnt away
by your sheer radiance;
you jar my faith
in the universe
and leave me
no space for my reason
nor my rhyme
for they fall
with your preoccupation
for things i'll never
fully fathom...
you broke me out
of my formerly
unassailable stance...
no longer solid,
no longer clear;
bring me back
from the restlesness,
into the standstill
that i know
only your spirt brings...
