The only time I find peace:
Drifting…
Floating,
In the middle of the ocean.
Infinite possibilities
Above and below.
Relentless sun
Beating down;
Eyes closed
Against harsh brightness.
Unfathomable depths
Staring up;
Hidden horrors
Begging to be seen.
This thin blue line sways,
Oh gentle tsunami;
One layer of film
Separating heaven
From hell;
Not one nor another –
In purgatory
I dwell.
On this knife edge
I’m nurtured;
Finding solace
All alone.
One more soul
Lost in mediocrity;
Lost forever
At home.
