Adrift

Elizabeth Spaulding

Standing near the sea
She summons me
Vast emptiness
More than eye can see
A weak comparison to
Emptiness inside
Waters moil
Waves agitate
Ensnared between the now
Drifitng to the past
Murky memories
Tenebrous tomorrows
Riled illusions
Sediment or dreg
Maven hearts
Unanimated and numb
Obsolete and bleak
Hasten death
Comatose
Relinquished love
