157. ARROW OF GOD

My new life began with GREAT EXPECTATIONS.
But soon I felt, I was in a WASTELAND.
I found myself WAITING FOR GODOT and
Wondering WHERE SHALL WE GO THIS SUMMER.
THAT LONG SILENCE of the new atmosphere
Made me feel that my dreams were GONE WITH THE WIND.
My ROOTS began to shake,
I lost all my SENSE AND SENSIBILITY
And felt that I was in THE DARK ROOM.
For sure I knew it was a PARADISE LOST,
And I thought ceaselessly of HOMECOMING.
But suddenly I heard an angel whisper,
“It would be bad unless SHE STOOPS TO CONQUER”.
I soon could see THE RAINBOW appearing,
And felt I must possess WINGS OF FIRE.
For like THE CHARGE OF THE LIGHT BRIGADE,
I knew I must march to strike THE RIVALS.
