Muddled

The constant whirling
Swooshing, curling
Through my fingers
It stops to linger
Watch it coil
Steady turmoil
Constant pleasure
Hidden pressure
Take this bet
You won’t regret
Life is nothing
Without something
Love and fear
One single tear
Raindrops fall
I stand tall
Through the storm
Unadorned
Steady, simple
Truly a stemple
Shallow depths
I am inept
Life keeps flowing
Never knowing
What comes next
Take one more step
Just keep falling
My heart is calling
You’ll never end
What cannot begin
