A Deluge of Expectations
Expectations roaming unbridled in my brain
Like high hopes, they command my attention
After a dry spell, like the promise of rain.
Plans so rich in their promise I feel the strain
Vying with each other in bouts of contention
Expectations roaming unbridled in my brain.
With just a few I’d have so much to gain
But I’d need a giant storehouse for retention
After a dry spell, like the promise of rain.
These fantastic ideas fall like a spring rain
I’d list them, but there are too many to mention
Expectations roaming unbridled in my brain.
I haven’t the time to explore or explain
The intricacies of each, depth, or dimension
After a dry spell, like the promise of rain,
Then, they come to me, a deluge so plain
Sometimes causing me much apprehension
Expectations roaming unbridled in my brain
After a dry spell, like the promise of rain.
