ride

you were like the wind around me

whipping my soul into a storm

a fever of restless thoughts

and dream time imaginings

you were the gift my lonely soul

sought

without knowing

it was seeking

and yet

even as you carried me closer and closer

to the edge

part of me knew

there was a force

that summoned you up

from the very depths of my unconscious

a wild tide

that should I choose to ride it

would open up my destiny

but not toward any sense of

certainty

only leading me

closer and closer to

unravelling

a chaotic path

of unpredictable travelling

I must either chose to ride

or leave

far far

behind me
