For This

Catch a thread

In a hurricane

Find a needle

In a landslide

Pluck an ice cube

From an avalanche

But dare not get

Caught in it

For this rat’s nest

Labyrinthine puzzle

Pulls like a

Gaping black hole

From which nothing

Not even I, can escape

The triumphant moment

I clutch that thread

I hold the needle

I grasp the ice

I know that I

Am born to this

This madness

This joy

This terror

This pain

The love

The laughter

The emotions I capture

The times I speak for you

When you haven’t words

The tears I cry

When you have no more

And oh, what a lucky man

I am for this
