Quidam's View

Oceans Away

by Colleen Barry
Completed 01-12-07

Sitting,
Thinking.
Breathing,
Drinking;
Drinking in my heart's emotions.

Sipping on a blue ambrosia
Saddened by the clouds
That brew inside my head
And pull and tug at every thread

Of selfless sewn twine that now

Runs into shreds.

 

My head unravels like a worn linen

In the wash.

 

My thoughts carelessly strewn about here and there.

And all I want is for you to hear my prayer.

 

As I fall to my knees in a tearful confession.

I remember when I never did question

The times that we shared or the love in the air…

 

And now I’m just sitting and thinking.

Breathing and drinking;

Drinking in my heart’s emotions

And swimming in my tears…

My tears that so easily turned into oceans.
