Rondelet: Fortitude

©2012, Olan L. Smith

I travel with a mighty current;

I am lost; will my spirit's tether pull me back? I deviate―

I travel with a mighty current.

Help me; I must stay buoyant―

My works ― my actions are unbalanced. Please, abate!

Undertow gripping ― I must swim, a shoreline I must locate―

I travel with a mighty current.
