My Bafflement

Sitting on the island of consciousness

Surrounded by the sea of confusion

I see the boundary of my island lessen

Am I going to drown in this sea 

Or make it alive

The everlasting sea is an endless hazy sight

And I sit there and wonder

There is no start there is no end

Stuck in the middle of the sea with thoughts entangled

Mustering up the courage and getting down from the rock

I decide to swim across

Stepping on to the sea of wisdom

My thoughts become clear

And as I swim I find that the shore is not too far
