Why bother to swim, when I can hitch a ride

Hope onto the lily pads, scattered, by the side

Bask in the warming sunlight, dry off, and relax

Then jump onto another one, and let it take me back

Float among the flora, munch on all the weeds

Happy just to be a frog, living among the reeds

It’s all rusted now
Torn and tattered
Years of neglect

I wish I could disavow
Thoughts too scattered
Lacking self-respect

I’ve walked a fine line
Unafraid to crossover
My time, so measured

Though forlorn, I am fine
With the promise of clover
And a life, truly treasured

Swept away, with the rush of the wind

Thoughts are scattered, then rescind

Words, once written, striped the page

Letters danced, in spasmodic ways

Cursive lines fell, in scriptive tones

To tell the tale, from flesh and bone

Penned in mystery, forever untold

Vanished, only for the wind to behold

Swept away once more, in a blustery gale

Scattered thoughts, again, shall always prevail
