sea

Adrift

I am not looking

For anything

There is a solace

In the silence

I feel as if I am in a blank space

From emotional content

That which I feel is

Superseded by a blank space

Full of questions

What is next

It is like being in a field of debris

After a tornado has ripped everything in sight to shreds

There are a few things still in place

Friendships and work to be done

All else has been washed away by a

Gail force wind

Here i stand

Looking over the outcome

Realizing how much I enjoy it

Existing in the blank spaces

Being without

Leaves me powerless

Without power, without responsibility

Resting now, after the storm

Adrift

For the pirate

When you and I lock eyes,

There is so much that I can see

The turbulent ocean of emotion you sail

And all the treasures you’ve buried

We have met each other on your sails

As you have traveled the stormy sea

All those you have loved and lost

Are mates who are with you constantly

Until you pass this way again

I always await your return

With eyes out on the horizon

Every days sun falling into the sea to burn

I am a solitary desert island

Far beyond your maps reach

I will be here forever waiting for you

To come and relax on the sands of my beach
