blinded by the blindness of my yearnings

looking up and out and beyond, I am searching for the stars in the sky, the sparkling twinkling lights that will add something special to my daily existence

the otherness that will transform this mundane shell I inhabit into an exotic dancer with twirling veils and tinkling bells, the added mystery of wafting incense, thick and spicy

my vision so distracted that I nearly miss the gems at my feet
