drowning
sea of desire
pockets of air bubbles
haunting dreams a mariner's song
drifting
~
inhale
sea of desire
pockets of air bubbles
haunting dreams a mariner's song
drifting
~
inhale
floating weightless
cool deep waters of night
dreams of you rise to the surface
exhale
~
your words
your words
lift me higher
whispering endearments
buoyancy keeps my dreams alive
i breathe
buoyancy keeps my dreams alive
i breathe

DeleteBeautiful, dreams keep us afloat!
ReplyDeleteDreams do keep us afloat they give us something to look forward to in the journey.
DeleteDelicate, romantic and rather moving...
ReplyDeleteMoving in the waves of emotions..I am still pondering that play..
Deletelove the cadence ...!
ReplyDeletethank you
DeleteAs someone who can't swim, the first parts of this are actually pretty horrifying. Drowning. Drifting away. So I love the thought of someone's words bringing you back to the surface and keeping you afloat. Or... at least that's how I interpret it.
ReplyDeleteAh, I remember you saying you couldn't swim...I imagine the water would be a bit scary. No need to worry that is why they have life jackets :)
DeleteIt is nice to have those that keep us afloat when we are ready to give up our dreams. We all need encouragement along the way. Life is too heavy to try carrying it on our own. Of course it takes great humility as well to admit that we too need help.
ReplyDeleteWe all need someone to help lighten the weight that holds us down. Sometimes that is hard to do in the journey.
DeleteLove it. I could use a few more pockets of air bubbles.
ReplyDeleteWe need those air bubbles to survive my friend...inhale...exhale...slow and easy
Deletelove the last two lines.
ReplyDeletethank you..

Hi Shoes,
DeleteSo nice to see you here again. You are right there is always more going on beneath the surface. I am doing ok..hanging in there in the journey. Thanks for asking...
"I'm fixing a hole where the rain gets in... and stops my mind from wandering..."
DeleteI'm trying to fix some things about myself that are broken... I'm slowly getting back... :o)

Hi Shoes,
DeleteLet's talk...I sent you an email...glad you are slowly getting back..

The ending really stays with me. Like the idea of "Discovering Buoyancy."
ReplyDeleteI think we all need to discover a bit of floatation in the journey
