Bridge

I stand
in this empty space
I fumble and fall
in rueful disgrace.

Stormclouds are brewing
A tornado of regrets
Destroys all and conquers
All the deeds I confess

My head is still whirling
My eyes seek the light
The abyss below
Calls siren-like

Take my hand as I flail
As I reach for a breath
Beneath murky waters
No escape from the depth.

No hope for the sinner
No mercy, no fear
All is forgiven
Deliverance is near.
