Vertigo

 

It is like riding the Merry-Go-Round again 

My distorted sense of balance is all wrong

I am very dizzy with a confused brain

 

The torture of continuous spin is so inhumane

Everything I see is blurred all day long

It is like riding the Merry-Go-Round again

 

The spinning Earth revolves the Sun in a plane

Is that why my wooziness is so strong 

I am very dizzy with a confused brain

 

I try very hard to practice meditative Zen

But my ears ring a loud-chattery song

It is like riding the Merry-Go-Round again

 

My suffering from vertigo is hard to explain

I feel like been jammed in a throng       

I am very dizzy with a confused brain

 

I wish equilibrium pulled back on my rein

So that my whirling sensation will not prolong      

It is like riding the Merry-Go-Round again

I am very dizzy with a confused brain

Villanelle for Missy We do not always see eye to eye               We are better at feeling heart to heart    I tell you it is not your time...
