Sometimes the winds stop and my sails fall, then
All I’m left with is the quiet and dark,
No mark of my horizon can I see,
Just me, in this moment drifting alone,
My own compass not able now to guide,
Beside me, loneliness I thought at bay,
Today, it shows its final hand’s not played,
Afraid I might remain out here afloat,
My throat constricts, my hope it does rescind,
In my boat, I can only wait for wind.
This does sound like a middle of the night poem; very quiet, tranquil and lonely. As serene as it is thoughtful.
Introspective and melancholy. Very touching, Ken. I know someday things will turn around for you. ::hugs::
Thanks, I do have my melancholic moments, but I think turning fifty may be bringing me a few more of them then usual. Too much thinking going on. 🙂
