Correction: Whirlwind

Zest for life
Exploded abruptly in me tonight;
Not sure of the cause,
But whoa, what a force!

It might have been the weather,
Or the shingles healing progress;
Don’t know how long this will last
Could be gone fast;

Nevertheless, it’s interesting to see
How I get so grabbed
By whatever mood or emotion
That barrels through,

One after the other,
And I’m getting caught
On them all;
But at least I can see,

Although I can’t
Seem to do anything about it,
Only watch and learn
What odd twists and turns,

How blinded,
How stuck in it,
How curious,
How disconcerting!

The effect is so strong,
It alters all aspects,
Leads me to doubt,
To ask, 'who is this?

What is this happening now
That seems so real,
So concrete and sure
But breaks up so easily
Whenever the conditions change?'
