I tried to balance

The pressures from a distance

In safety

 

But the winds pulled

At my current until I

Was sucked in

 

The eye, at first, was

The most beautiful thing I

Had ever seen

 

When it passed,

I swam furiously

To get back

 

It knocked me

As down as I

Could go

 

So I swam

Away with no intention

To return

 

And now that my pool

Is calm, I see all the dust

It stirred

 

And I am

Left to clean it up

Alone
