Adrift in me

Adrift in me

A Poem by Dave W.
"

There is a sea within and waves that rage

"
 Adrift in Mar Infinitum

rudderless at the mercy of fates whims

 

the horizon offers no solace

the stars have hidden themselves

 

cruel waves threaten to capsize

beasts of the deep welcome with hungry teeth,

 

where is the light that guides,

the promises of a safe voyage was everything but sincere,

 

there is no turning back,

even Lunas smile would be welcome,

replace the darkness,

 

let me see death when it comes,

let me welcome the end with clear vision,

 

instead,

blind to the surroundings,

 

terror is what my heart dines on,

my ears tell me things too horrible for my eyes to see,

 

escaping into imaginations landscape is my mother’s arms,

she opens to receive,

 

splash of waves has stolen a moments respite,

where is the hope that peddlers of the miraculous sold me,

 

I strain to see,

 

eventually it will end,

me at the bottom,

or washed up on land...........

Your words, your stories of beauty, ugliness, hope and hopelessness always capture my heart, bind it in chains that leave me unable to produce the thoughts into words I wish to relate.
Yes, the stars have hidden themselves, the beasts of the deep seem to be victorious on our voyage through life, the Destroyer often seems to be the victor.
Press on, our spirits still burn the eternal flame, we must press on. You bring unspoken thoughts to light.
Thanks, Dave W., for sharing your gift, which, in turn, ignites poetic in others. You're awesome.
