Softly, Now Wander

addiction and descent tears absorbed in cold cotton finite and trembling slipstream lives lost forgotten wilted blood red gin blossoms soiled love, tattered gown hopes wrung out as a bar rag whiskey ring, vodka crown far from home, foreign air frost proof and dark hearted broken mandela dreams a life ended, then started mountains patiently wait sultry shadows at noon cool down meadow breezes my soul warms to the tune softly, now wander muffled oars slowly dip drifting up crystal rivers losing ego, loosened grip infinite sadness is shattered joyful trumpets resound ragged curtains are mended serenity sought out... and found.
