Spinning round
Falling down
Lost in twisted words
Spinning round
Falling down
Lost in twisted words
Just when I thought I had it all
When I could never lose
I stumbled and I took a fall
Now which path could I choose?
Harrumph and haw
Laugh and guffaw
And condescend
Tsk with no end
And when you stop, I’ll be here, stronger still.

Page after page after page
I read, settling into a rage
For characters I’ve never met
Whose teachings have me e’er in debt
Truth is often torn to shreds
When met by human wanting

A-running and running and running around
A not-yet-grown pup joyf’ly plays
He smiles and he barks and he rolls on the ground
As if he could run ‘round for days
A man whom oft lies
Focused only on himself
He oft dies alone.
I’ll hold you
I’ll keep you
I’ll kiss you
I’ll love you
For longer than the universe
Forever and a day
Forever seems an awful lot
To those who live in doubt
They wonder if they’ll ever have it
Truly figured out
Whatever prayers I’ve sent up to the skies
Whatever jealous musings I have pined
Away with them; treat them as pithy lies
I never knew what I, so blessed, would find:
Her.
