Fevered Mind

A poem by Sydney Stone. I do not own the image.

***

Time and time and time again,

Must I ever cross this fen,

Between the worlds- of right and wrong,

Beckoning me with- their haunting songs,

To feel good within, or good without,

Luring me with- the gifts they tout,

Which path to choose? which road to take?

Always hiding- what is at stake,

Perhaps one day, I’ll know the way,

If only I knew- the price that I’d pay.
