stir
stir the storm within my soul
stir the muddled thoughts that swirl within my mind
stir the unsettling rumination of a past unforgotten, unforgiven
and the worries for a future that might never arrive

deep within the lonely halls of one man's contemplation,
the fears of one unanswered question echo painfully,
piercing the drums of a heart that turned a deaf ear
"is a fleeting shadow found or a water-vessel fired?"
