IDLING IN THE WIND



Stumbled into a deep chasm,
Narrow that it was,
All senses went into a spasm,
Dark that it was.

Thought how wonderful it was,
Flowing with the breeze,
The locks kept beating the air,
That was the ease.

The sail, a delight,
Left no cause to fight,
Alas, it disappeared in a flash,
And I was lying in a trash.

Hopping against the narrow walls,
Inflicting pain and injury,
I try to reach the light,
But lack the strength for the plight.

Lying in the pool of my hapless misgivings,
Now I think,
Flowing against the wind,
Is the real thing.
