Line Gauthier Poet Enclosed Rhyme

Terra Firma

When both my feet don’t touch the ground
Lightheadedness proves overwhelming
Turbulent thoughts going while coming
They swirl about me round and round

Cloaked in black a moonless night
The howling dreadful spiteful wind prevails
Spellbound drags me over hills and vales
Like a ragdoll in the midst of a bullfight

Trails of lingering spirit ghouls
Hover over murky haze of mistiness
Harassing in dark gloomy cloudiness
Wrangling reaping mangled souls

Blurry visions twirl above
Creating mayhem in their path
Unleashing bold raging wrath
Till afar I think I see a dove

Fearing I’ll break into a coma
I force myself to get a grip
Catch my breath with every dip
Holding out for familiar terra firma

Caren Krutsinger February 7, 2019 at 4:28 AM Delightfully mystical, and poetically wonderful, Line. "spellbound drags me over hills and vales like a ragdoll in the midst of a bullfight" - this part was a definite wake up line. I do not need to have coffee today. Line Gauthier February 7, 2019 at 8:23 AM LOL thanks for your most appreciated visit and compliment, Caren.
