S.O.S.

Trapped
and floating in
contaminated thoughts,
I drown in the dry air of my life.

From within the capped, clear glass,
I see there is water everywhere,
and I am buoyed by
gentle waves.

Both comforted
and anguished at the sight
of the plenty surrounding me,
I claw at slick confines, my screams

muffled yet magnified around me.
And I mourn the life I might
have lived, free outside
this bottle prison.

There is hope! There is life! outside the bottle prison.
"You will find Me when you seek Me with all your heart."
For any who are trapped, cry out to Jesus. He will free you
and give you new life.
Very well-crafted, Dawn! You write a vivid picture of despair.

I can so relate to this one as I am often in a state of being swalloed in this universe.
"Trapped
and floating in
contaminated thoughts,
I drown in the dry air of my life."
Excellent expressions.

Tight, claustrophobic feel to each desperate word yearning to escape...profoundly moving, emotional work, Dawn, very well done.

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.

This pen is claustrophobic and conveys the exact senses trapped inside a bottle. Your freedom is through the top.
Very well defined.
Susan
