Caught in a Rip
A stream of questions
flows into the mighty river
of fast flowing debris
and toxic rapids stirring up my sanity.
There’s a clear spring here somewhere
bubbling fresh strength
into the rough and tumble ride
but mere drops escape through.
It’s the forecasted shower
that turns to a relentless flood
circling and spinning to frustration
behind the eyes of my regret.
But it comes down to a simple blockage
trapping the lucid mixture
to overflowing between the ears and behind the heart
before they realise- a little raft won’t do.
