— Tumbling —
— Words tumble
searching for a place
I must write
I must ask
I must seek
to untangle bedlam
but the twine of knots
thousands of damn knots
allude solution
drowning me
binding me to confusion
— Emotions tumble
searching for a place
Chaotic thoughts scream
for clarity, lucidity
grains of sand, pebbles
rocks and boulders
crumble and fall
in my head
to settle in sequence
but find disarray
never solution
never answers
never peace
— Purpose tumbles
searching for a place
Pandemonium blares
palms against my ears
hands against my eyes
covered but so loud
so vivid
shouting at me
put the words together
find the sequence
share the answers
life, love, meaning, purpose
where, how, which direction
surely they’re there
but I cannot find them
and the grave is open
awaiting me
calling me to enter
and sleep
I fear sleep
without answers
without purpose
I need to know
yet I must sometime rest
please, to rest
— Tomorrow tumbles
searching for a place
Mountains of dreams
Valleys of reality
blinded by today
fired by chaos
churn in the mind
fix me they demand
I try
but where are the words
the answers
the solution
how do I find them
— Repute tumbles
searching for a place
I need you my spouse
my child
my friend
your touch of love
to hide in your caress
to bathe in your kiss
to shelter in your warmth
understanding my tears
giving me strength
to kick closed the casket
while I search for why
and seek the illusive words
answers to purpose
I’ll find them for you
or sleep in my grave
a wasted spirit
no words upon my headstone
— Life tumbles
searching for a place
of peace
