Stalled, am I the river eddy at the fork
A twisting fate
Spun on and round and round again
Am I the one
Who cursed before is cursed to dance
This static twirl

Worn, am I the shallow root across your path
A wasted limb
Caressed by gravel underfoot
Am I the one
Who cursed before is cursed again to crawl
This stony ground

Cold, am I the stone embedded in your shoe
A minor thought
Ignored or cast aside both on a whim
Am I the one
Who cursed before is cursed again to clutch
This final straw

Alone, I am the leaf decaying on the tree
I see it now
A husk sucked dry and past the fall
I am the one
Who cursed before is cursed again to feel
This loss of love

When emotion is in motion, only forward goes the noble heart.
What gravity in your talent, to pull a reader in and seat them steadfast.

Excellent write...much enjoyed the read.

No spring, nor summer beauty
hath such grace...
As I have seen in one autumnal face.
