a bleak bit

not exactly me

W.I.P.



drifting away on the sea of forgetfulness
forever away from this misremembered shore
far out to sea on a raft stalked by loneliness
till we know naught of our life before

drifting away to where the sea’s full of emptiness
souls cursed and blessed to the same fate assigned
bad deeds and good consigned to nothingness
neither forfeit nor profit come by design

beyond the horizon lost in nothingness
adrift in the wrack of time’s steady ruin
we slowly dissolve in the brine of forgetfulness
till we return to the sea’s bleak domain

John, a poem all humanity can identify with at one time or another. This is superbly written, and deeply felt!

Joy and Peace,
