An Acrostic

Swayed and staggered
      Twisted and twirled by the ghoulish wind
On the almost barren, haggard branches
       Rags of leaves once vibrant and verdant 
Mourning the memories of a swirling spring

Clinging to an aeon of bygone dreams 
       Etched and inked on the canvas of mind 
Limp now perhaps once agile
       Every now and then trying to rise
Bent, broken , browbeaten, bruised 
       Ravaged yet holding back hopes tight
And something more...d'you know what it is?
      'Tis called the will to live, love life  
In moments even of despair and doubt
      On wings of fanciful delight
'N cooing the eternal song of rhyme
               "See! I am still alive"
