On the Open Sea
Drifting through a subconscious mind
voices
shift
and
blend
lights
and
colors
flash
before
my closed eyes
Sometimes I'm awake
but
not
really
I dream that I'm
drifting
on
an
open
sea
the
waves
are
calling
my
name,
quietly,
relentlessly.
I am on a lifeboat
floating
falling
and
tumbling.
I listen to
the
waves
call
my
name
louder
and
louder
over
and
over.
Until I'm half awake
eyes
closed
lights
flashing
voices
blending
begging
me
to
wake
up
but
what
if
I
just
want
to
drift
away
through
the
open
water
on
my
sinking
boat
into
the
abyss?
