After the storm

Defeated ... dejected ... despised
Sitting atop the branches ... alone
Feeling the after effects of the storm
Lost in derision ...
Contemplation the curse ...
Amid the spiralling losses of inactivity
Magic lost on the wing of the albatross

The Raven cannot fly that far ...
Stolen life ... manipulated reactions
Forced along corridors like the laboratory rat
A victim of the whims of higher expression
Sensing freewill was never permitted
Magic ... the curse of the damned ...
Life's purpose has been blown so far away
The fury of the latest storm ...
Breaking the structure of fragile sanity
The insane now feels the bending branches amid the wind
And merely awaits now the plunge into cognitive madness.
