Though I ride a crest, I see a trough coming
And then count myself sorely tested,
Tossed as an errant cipher to the bin

Or standing proud as a peacock combing
Plumage, the best on which my eyes rested.
Though I ride a crest, I see a trough coming,

Buoyant, Devil-may-care, let’s go again,
Down the sloping sides ‘til we are bested,
Tossed as an errant cipher to the bin.

Mended, I answer the call for roaming,
And each day I’ve a lifetime invested.
Though I ride a crest, I see a trough coming.

Sliding from a manic high I begin,
No answers for clemency requested,
Tossed as an errant cipher to the bin.

Normal is a point I swing through going
Up and down, and if you’re interested,
Though I ride a crest, I see a trough coming,
Tossed as an errant cipher to the bin.

That sounds about right for life having troughs and riding high on wave only to be tossed in the bin.
