Sinking Ships

Standard

We were two sinking ships

Who could not quite

Reach each other in the squall.

Too

Overwhelmed and lost;

Arms too weakened to hold

Anyone but ourselves

Above the crashing waves.

Oh how I loved you.

And the crashing thunder

Roared pitilessly

Drowning out the sound

Of my breaking heart

As I,

Myself drowning,

Helplessly watched

You drift out of

Sight.

Drift

Standard
And so the tiredness settled into her bones.
Long had been the fight.
Sorrow had been her burden for too long
Confusion had blurred her sight.
With heavy heart
She lay herself down
In the daisies
And stared at the clouds above
Allowing the earth to cradle her bones.
Oh, to be a cloud drifting so weightlessly.
Nothing but the air to
Kiss her body up there.
The silence so clear up high.
To glide
Upon the wind
And breathe harmony
So free.
To drift and never return
Below…
