It Starts Again

 

This path in front of me

where does it lead?

 

Off to the left it winds,

a precarious thing and then

shifts slowly towards the right

where trees bloom bright

and birds sing their faint song

behind foliage of green.

 

Before I know it there is a drop,

I am tumbling rapidly

down a hill,

no a slope,

it’s a mountain that engulfs me

in my sleep.

 

Bruised and weary

I wake to find myself disheveled,

like the sheets, my soul

aches and can’t right itself

the ever present vertigo

room spinning until I can’t see straight

moments upon waking.

 

It starts again.

Seems to capture the quick conception of confusion. I'm not sure if punctuation was left out intentionally or if it's still a work in progress. Certain points seem like punctuation would help instill the quick, rapid thoughts and change a bit better.

"Before I know it there is a drop,
I am tumbling rapidly
down a hill
no a slope
it's a mountain that engulfs me
in my sleep."

From a hill to a slope to a mountain and it's all in your sleep. Good example of where punctuation might back up an already powerful stanza.

Confused state of mind and expression of the worries.
