walking

Flailing, Slipping,

Falling

I stumble

Gasping, Heaving,

Churning

I flounder

Groping, Twisting,

Wrenching

I grapple

Cursing, Snarling,

Shouting

I injure

Searching, Seeking,

Yearning,

I despair

Broken, Helpless,

Humble

I surrender

Learning, Listening,

Loving

I live

An original composition by David Smith.
