Invisible

You are there in plain sight
Visible for all to see
Vibrant in color
Yet vague in demeanor
Movements feel real
Speech is monotone
A visceral contrast from before to now
Eyes see everything
All angles and all perspectives
Ears hear all the rhetoric
From all directions and in all languages
Cerebral lyrics digested and diagnosed
Scents of all kinds roam through the smoke
I'm here
Aren't I
A solemn sadness hovers over gestation
Inevitable
The sounds of merriment no longer heard
Blindness settles in
And feels comfortable
It waits for completion of its mission
Orders were given
A slow dissipation
No urgency
Time for denial
Time for self suffocating
Grasping for one last stronghold
But the heart is not enough
No one sees me
The undeniable truth sets in
Hey you
Your invisible
