Lost

Am I lost? 
Perhaps I find I am 
lost in a quantum universe 
drifting between lives 
and thoughts 
and meaning 

Dancing with Hercules 
with the light on 
as edges blur 
and black and white become grey 

Ethereal figures swirl 
like ghosts from a future's past 
and resonant echoes carry 
sighs from opportunities missed 

I meet myself 
A version also lost 
aimlessly wandering a star-studded hallway 
haunting portraits upon the walls 
staring as stars do 
empty behind rehearsed smiles 
old and black and white and grey 
with blurred edges 

This version of me asks 
'How can one be lost amidst the stars?'
and I have no answer

I dance with Hercules 
with the light on 
as edges blur 
and stars shine dimly 

Am I lost? 
Perhaps I find I am 
lost in a quantum universe 
where anything is possible 
and everything 
is only a thought away
