The Shaking Leg

It’s been sometime

Since I’ve sensed, and seemed fine.

A lot has been lost in time

But the scars have permanent residence, in my mind.

The leg shakes from left to right

Wondering, what happened to the time.

A spirit once so bold

But with age now, the world seems cold.

I’ve asked around and no one knows

Where the fountain of youth is, to undo my woes.

I worry from fear and fear my worries

But smile to the world, to protect my soul.

Life at one time moved in no hurry

But I run now to destinations, hoping to find gold.

I want to dance in the rain, or snow

But fear judgment of the gods, and so I stay home.

There’s a friendship, I’ve been told

Formed amid mind, body, and soul;

When crafted in stone

can lend fabrics to fly through the air,

And break free, the habits of despair.

The alchemy is a mystery

But anxiety is killing me

So I must push forward,

To find the right roads.

Our bond was once unbreakable,

But time is now my enemy.

Forgive me,

but you’ve moved too swiftly.

So let the cards unfold

I will continue to take my blows

The game is far from over-

the leg will stop shaking one day,

and my story will be told.
