Surging through the life way Feel the flooding all around, Wade neck deep in turmoil Inundated, cold and drowned. A waterfall of trouble Cascading through your mind, Slashing through the visual And rendering you blind. Awash with soaking platitudes Immersed in ideas fraught, With rationale that's compromised By sudden thoughts of nought. Sloughing off precipitants Skimming through the mire, Rearrange the tangled sequence To leave potential to aspire. Dispense with poor priorities Expunge them with a shout, Simplify the landscape And flush that mind set out. Is tomorrow looking lucid, Have the torrents disappeared? Is your temperament improving, Have you lost that leaden fear? Have the serpents all submerged Beneath the blackness of abyss? Has hope's glimmer re-ignited To make a drowning death remiss?

Death by Drowning
Surging through the life way Feel the flooding all around, Wade neck deep in turmoil Inundated, cold and drowned. A waterfall of trouble Cascading through your mind, Slashing through the visual And rendering you blind. Awash with soaking platitudes Immersed in ideas fraught, With rationale that's compromised By sudden thoughts of nought. Sloughing off precipitants Skimming through the mire, Rearrange the tangled sequence To leave potential to aspire. Dispense with poor priorities Expunge them with a shout, Simplify the landscape And flush that mind set out. Is tomorrow looking lucid, Have the torrents disappeared? Is your temperament improving, Have you lost that leaden fear? Have the serpents all submerged Beneath the blackness of abyss? Has hope's glimmer re-ignited To make a drowning death remiss?
