Drifting away


In the middle of a monkey bridge
About to go down from both ends
Its was just too late
to make amends.
Everyone was on the other side
I just stood there yet to decide.
What caught my eye was the water around
Wandering sights set nowhere specific
I was nowhere bound.
From the other side they stare
It looked as though they didn't really care.
Introspection wasn't on the cards
Hope was faint
Thus inevitably the ropes gave way
Pushing me away.
Holding onto the broken frame wouldn't have done me any significant good
Letting go off them was an option to be discarded.
Happened as it had to
I plunged underneath
It was all dark..water everywhere..struggled to breath.
There lay ahead a waterfall
Waiting to add to my woes
Deeper I went..Higher the others rose
To be in their shoes I now dream
Dragged by the mad turbulence of the river, not a gentle stream
Daisies I could have plucked when they bloomed before me
I now merely marvel them from afar
I know where the trunk of happiness rests, but I still search the key.
I lost they won
Is all I can say
I'm dragged into oblivion
As I came undone.
