Vertigo

Morbid sadness glides from happiness

endlessly, to apperceptive spiciness.

May it arise this occasion

your change in perspective

spoken softly in suasion

emanation of recollective

lesson in impermanence

filtered through your earnestness.

Austerity flattens all landscapes

navigation through a million scrapes

drifters on rocky planes traipse.

Trekkers, whom the slights

hound perpetually, but keep the faith

escalation leads to wuthering heights.

A chasm lies gaping, open mouth

between realisation and fulfilment

yodeling preoccupation singing south

snarky vertigo forces into concealment

meekly frozen in fear to take a leap

a shortage in faith or lack thereof

lonely and stranded on the steep.

Freedom is a scary wide vista

a tune climbing giddily blind

calls for lilting charisma

echoes start fazing the mind

tripping over notes to trove

somewither, push comes to shove.

Oh! Harken to the chirping sounds!

Follow them in leaps and bounds!

Incisive song like pickaxe tags along.
