 Drifting


Drifting, softly

on an endlees sea

waves lapping at the edges, breaking gently on my skin

stars circle and dive overhed

burning slowly away, falling through forever

melting away and into the water, body streaming quietly

murky depths unwavering

pushed down,

down

away where I can't see them

behind me and under me

out of my perception

numbness washing over my sins

cleansing my worries

softening the pain

dissolving away the bruises

I wish it were so easy to melt into the sea

becoming a cloud that might

just

drift

forever

away
