Lofty scribbles of madness enchanted
On long trips to nowhere, leave me
Helpless, without care.
How dare I? How dare We?
Jump gleefully while suffering hangs in the air blatantly?
It’s Fate, You see.
The smile on my face has never been fake
and it would be quite the task to undertake
Take a deep breath, you know you can’t keep it.
Release it, don’t plead for it to stay or Return because
It Can’t. And It Won’t.
One moment to the next, no chance to recant
But you may take a step back and observe
What once ignored, finally Heard
From a different perspective
In Retrospect:
The water is Calm.
But as for now?
The Storm rages on.
