Illuminated by mindless,

Time-snatching devices

We watch

As days unfold

And seasons pass by

Platforms created

To share moments

In an instant

Have stolen more

Than could ever be captured

A serendipitous tragedy

As puppeteers lead

We dance, suspended

In silent chaos

Ungrounded and uncertain

Down we stare

A warped perception

Stares back

Convincing us

We aren’t worthy

No longer blind

We absorb and repeat

Unable to exist

Without our blue,

Guiding light

We have forgotten

Lasting light

Comes from within

A simplicity dimmed

By the noise

Illuminated by mindless,

Time-snatching devices

We watch

As days unfold

And seasons pass by
