My mind gets seasick sometimes
like it's riding
the rolling waves
of an ocean so wide.
Far away from
the guiding coastlines
and their lights that shine.
The sails stuck,
the oars long sunk
to the murky depths.
On these raging currents
my mind shudders,
swaying side to side.
Against my hull
huge waves cascade and crash.
Pushing me under for a second,
spluttering salty seawater. I gasp.
There is no lighthouse
to light the dark.
Anywhere in front of me
could be a big rock
or a giant shark,
ready to rip my world apart.
My mind carries on,
no sea legs does it stand upon.
Stumbling to stay upright
I only see
the vast emptiness
like the darkest night.
My mind gets shipwrecked sometimes.
Capsized thoughts in the urgent
undercurrent of time. the surging tides.
Only see blinking starlight,
blurred by the sea mist
coating my eyes.
I've counted the hours,
in tally marks over both arms,
I've read the star maps, to guide,
I've tried to steer this boat, but nothing.
I just float.
Aimlessly.
All at sea.
All I see
is a reflection
of me
in the dark
empty sea.
Neptune swims
under waves of tomorrow
becoming
a trace of yesterday.
When you lose track
of your mind in the race
to feel normal.
Feeling the blue
depths begin swallow you,
but then the moon
sets up her light for the night
to guide you.
