[Dunc]

  

I came across it in my head

                                       While joining up the dots,

                                       Connecting thoughts and memories

                                       Unravelling knarled knots

                                       Sifting through my dreams and plans

                                       Some future and some past

                                       Creating a kaleidoscope

                                       Of colours made to last.

 

 

                                       At first it was just like a voice

                                       A tiny whispered sound

                                       That gradually grew louder

                                       Becoming more profound.

                                       I tried to trace it’s origin

                                       The thought that formed the word

                                       The message partly spoken

                                       Had left me quite perturbed.

 

                                       

                                        I sought the root of gambling

                                        It’s basis or it’s cause

                                        Awaited patiently for an answer

                                        Content to linger and to pause

                                        I ask that inner, wise voice

                                        Whence it’s source and seed

                                        My search revealed that gambling

                                        Stems from avarice and greed.
