Adrift

On days when

I'm neither here nor there

Adrift in a sea of senseless noise

Battered by waves of unrecognizable emotion,

Floating, just floating.

On days when I have

That faraway look

When you call my name,

Just know, you may have to call again

before I come back to you.

The poem floated my boat. Once, as a boy I stood on the porch watching raindrops fall form the eaves. I don't know at what point I came to believe the raindrpops were stationary and I was rising, but I do know at that point I fell off the porch. You poem knocked me off the porch

Falling off the porch is one of the surest ways to know if is poetry

Being knocked on your a*s is another.

Poetry is tearing something up and making it into something else... sometimes, anyway.

Ahh I see we all do feel the same at times, adrift and alone. Beautifully put.

At times we need distance/aloneness,
and in your day it might not be feasible,
but it comes on anyway.
Duty calls!

You have a beautiful voice in all
your writing.

Interesting. The last two lines grab and rip in a way that upsets the mind-set one is put into by the previous lines.
Well done.

Great piece here. It has a airy feeling that reminds me of another poem I added into my favorites. Sort of reminds me of those times in the day where you're mind wanders into unchartered territory and the worst possible thing imaginable is to be torn away from it. Great job capturing that moment.

The imagery is brilliant. I felt like I was floating with you. You had me hanging on to every word, reminding me of me when I get the look and am off in my own world. The lines are amazing too! Everything's just wonderful with this!

This may be about coaxing, persuation or having to stroke someone in order to get their attention......almost like you are saying, "It won't be that easy, keep trying" This is how I am reading your words. Shake me out of that place you put me into.........Nice Emily
