drifting (Remove filter)
Alone In A Crowded Stream
The driftwood floats,
Down toward the rocky slopes,
Without a care in the world.
"I can't be bothered by those jagged rocks now,
In this cool water where I enjoy my ride,"
"Besides, there's still time to turn this around,
If I could just go against the tide."
"What a life this is being driftwood,
Where I go next is anybody's guess."
So I smile like nothing's the matter,

The Mists of Being
Walking to the station lost in thoughts.
A useless collection of ideas and emotions swirl around me,

It took me all these years to find my...

They see me
Haze distanced
Lost to all and love
Hull down, alone
Eternally to drift
To tide or current whim
Sometime becalmed
Drifting
Sometime storm blasted
