Blue

June 22, 2023 in English Poetry

Sorrow is an island
Joy, a landlocked sea
I am a ghost-ship
Unbound by gravity

I sail against the wind
Row amongst the clouds
But a smiling storm shook my mast
So it covers me like a shroud.

I sense the fall
The losing inches
As I am about to touch ground,
I wonder if it’s the land or the sea
That would eventually lift my shroud
