Poetry

I Stand Alone

Coiled wire unfurling,

Ocean roars, far away sails-

Sails the ship, Vessel of Dreams,

Riding the tide, dancing high.

No longer mine. Never was.

Now I stand. I stand alone.

Memories as waves, sweep, sway,

Drowning me with tortured dreams.

Tortured dreams of my life now lost.

I am safe, but at what cost?

For a life no longer mine.

Now I stand. I stand alone.

I cast the line, flies over waves,

I sit, wait, I spend my days.

Reeling in catch after catch-

Gazing afar, where I lived.

Is fishing my only life now?

Fishing for a hope not mine?

Here I stand. I stand Alone.
