As My Mind Wanders...

As my mind wanders,
I ask myself
Why...?
What if...?
knowing full well that
there are no answers,
but I search anyway.

I reach out with my mind,
beyond the scenery,
past the foreground
and into the Abyss.

Once there, I linger
for five minutes
or so it seems.

Long and hard do I
search, peeling back
layers and layers
upon layers of
white sheets,
gray fog,
and black ooze;
not arriving at an
answer
but slowly dissecting
the Question, discovering
tangents and irrelevancies.

Eventually, I come to a conclusion,
not an answer
but something to sustain
myself until I advance
to a higher level of
Thinking.
