AD RIFT: FIS HINT HE SEA


Adrift.  Solitary i sail.  Away from what failed.  On and on.

Ahead.  Into the abyss.  Behind are days i miss.  Uneasy.

Ages.  A while since sublime.  But a whale of a good time.  Hunting.

Drowning.  In grounders of grog.  To cut through the fog.  Aiding.

Slimy.  Under starry skies.  Waves of temporary highs.  Fishing.

Free.  Didn’t put up a fight.  But just for one night.  Thrown back.

Looking.  But not for keeps.  And the sea, she weeps.  Nightly.

Floating.  Been adrift so long.  Amidst a colorful throng .  All alone.

Avast.  Anchors to weigh?  And start a new day?  Am i ready?

Unsure.  Don’t know how i feel.  Lost without a needle.  Directionless.

Drifting.   Now to sail on.  Best things have gone.  Once again.

Hopeless.  Forget the SOS.  This one’s a mess.  Forlorn.

Repeat.  Yet another night.  And no land in sight.  Adrift.
