First you lead me through a wild web maze;
I Google, then succumb...

Adrift in the darkness, canvas sail gleams,
night sky aglow with satiny moonbeams.
Calm winds tread over a nonchalant sea
the world revolves in perfect harmony.

As I spiraled, free falling to the ground,
This nightmare is happening again,
Never able to leave this merry-go-round.

where skies steal the soft color of robins' eggs.
Breezes brush through golden sea oats and I find
