Secure appendage on tree
Sturdy bough nurtures
Anchored to paternal bank
Branching twigs sprouting
Beneath rooted mound
Free-flowing currents
Enticing reflections brim surface
Refracted dreams spinning above
Time erodes bond
Truant winds shiver
Shaky branch lurches
Falls free, into deep river
Listless timber drifting
Peaceful breeze at back
Bright vistas mount horizon
Lush vegetation on each bank
Sterile current soothes
Fresh scents intoxicate
Mercurial winds blow
Animated shadows sidle
Raindrops pound, insecurities surface
Weeds with entangling vines tug below
Infernal sun, conscience, seethes
But into rapids, free spirit plunges
Suddenly reality suspends
Streams of doubt converge
External pressures climax
Draining all remaining resolve
Soaked, bleached drifter
At the breaking point, bends
Tumbles into the briny sulfur
Hurdling into a pool of death
Sturdy bough nurtures
