    Idle Thought

    I'm idle...
    drifting through the stale, stillness of my life;
    I'm like a bramble,
    with the winds of time warping and molding me;
    arms outstretched to feel the sting of love scalding me;
    barren am I...
    open to the elements which claim me,
    I twist and turn yet I prove little;
    I struggle to breath and my limbs don't move; brittle.
    Going undernourished, I've yet to flourish;
    withered and forlorn am I;
    that which has remained...I'm idle...tear stained.

    To have great poets there must be great audiences too.
