a latent function

sometimes i feel like i can’t take it no mo’
been searching seeking hi and lo

i’m floating in space above my thoughts
looking down at the battle hard fought

a tumultuous time I faced
always seemed straight-laced

but a cloud, a haze made haste
from order, laying waste

but time, yes time will suffice
to restore that cosmic balance
tantalizing stars entice
me to extend my valance

atoms collide, an internal reaction
chemicals combine to my satisfaction

what results is feelings and emotions
ensuring an everlasting chain of devotions

going thru the motions
an ocean

swimming high on the surf
now i retire—this my turf!
