Spur of Moment


So here she is, perplexed once more,

Pray tell indeed, what should not be;

Umbered thoughts of diminished lore,

Race though the mind, averse to flee.

O'er the usual sanity,

Feeling distraught, reasons obscure,

More reasons to seek amity

Of reasonless Escape's lure.

Meadow of summer has winter frost,

Even when winter is summer's ghost.

Nay, "Of all the things I've loved and lost

The Mind is what I miss the most!"
