Drifting in this sea of uncertainty ~~ Wallowing in this
nothingness ~~ I lay upon this raft in the middle of this ocean searching for an island
that will provide me some shelter. ~~ I look to the horizon but there is nothing before
me. ~~ The haze of emptiness covers the horizon of unknown.
I sailed from the island of misplaced love with confidence ~ No love is better than the
hurt that I felt. ~~ The island has since become a paradise. ~~ The misplaced love on the
island found the light of comfort and acceptance and has since flourished with the bounty
of the gods.
There was no place for me on the island. ~~ My body left the toxic aroma of death that
ruined the beautiful island. So I had to leave even though the island felt like home in my
heart. ~~ I am able to visit the island at will, but I must depart before too long, or the
island will once again lose it’s beauty and return to the land of death.
So, as I float of this raft. Looking for an island to complement my nature, I have fond
memories of the island. ~~ But I turn and face the sun. ~~ The bright rays warm my body
with artificial comfort. I stare in the horizon of haze and I calls the winds of divinity
to take me where I belong.
I will continue to sail through this nothingness until I find my home.
