Compass

there is no true compass bearing
relative to our universe, nor is
there an up or down, left or right,
or even a diagonal unless we have
a point-of-reference by which we
can measure our current position; so,
why do we need to know which way

into which we might be  heading?
we are disoriented emotionally in
all our feelings whether they are
expressed or held inside, yet, we
attempt to explore relationship
as if they can become the compass
for the rest of our directional lives.
