Just to see

There's something in my heart
I know not what
But it keeps me searching
With eyes almost shut

A few dreams lie in a field
Long since gone fallow
Burned down to their cinders
Surronded by useless tallow

Some bright things too
Flicker here and yonder
A maybe here, a might there
Enough to make me ponder

Can I find my path
Amidst all the debris?
Right turn here, wrong turn there
A field made only of me

Yesterday, today, and tomorrow
All blend into who I could be
Do I but have the courage to look
Guess we'll just have to see

The casual sort of tone in this is nice.

Artfully composed. The theme actually reminds me of something we Muslims believe: human beings are naturally born with a moral compass that will guide us to do what is right.
