Keeping Clear
When my star got framed
And shot off with the safe crew
All my high mates felt embarrassed
Watching me sink
So fast
To the very bottom
Where I was whipped around
Inside
A mind-devouring current of loss.
"There he goes again" they spewed
"Round and round the same old pain.
He's never learnt to float, the fool."
But
What about their love life?
Who amongst them has moved
Love's vibrant light
Above the common horizon
So we can All see
Fear's old predictable chemistry
Made powerless to petrify
Radiant freshness and turn it
Into coral ammunition.
