The deluge and flood overwhelms my heart,
The waters lose no time to smartly play their part,
- Stirred and shaken, I shrink, shrivel and cower,
- Thorns pierce; I'm like an unloved trampled flower.
- Bulls-eye! I'm the real target hit by the flood-dart...
- Is it too late to journey ahead in my bedecked cart?
- Rejuvenate my once-upon-a-time spirit and power?
