Dancing Darkness' Round

A pointless parody of self I sink

Inexorably drawn towards a dark frontier,

The Help forestalled that offers me escape

Blocked by confusion and the obstinate role of fear.

Obscurity as a gaping hole yawns forth

Dragging down the light I would be

Embarked am I upon a sea unknown

Although a bright horizon beckons me.

I see the rapid wonder-bird take wing

But I half crippled tread familiar ground

Repeating past indulgences at will

Ever the same, dancing darkness' round.
