Adrift
Lost I am, I know
A piece of wreck,
yet to strike the shore.
Meanwhile, beaten , n lashed,
For eons since the cruise crashed.
but, yaara mere there is,
in bein 'even' a piece o wreckage,
a certain bliss
Afar, far from d flockin fleet
Driftin, unsure o what d next sec u'l greet
miles n miles, pass beneath my feet
n onward, simply onward, n ne'er to retreat
Rovin across barren treacherous plains
Oblivious to all d sick sea's stains
D voyage uncharted, d waves unframed
N d wreckage, it moves, unruffled, untamed.
Whirlpools, n hailstorms, n torrents rave past,
Makin me, markin me, scarrin me to d last
Unbeseeched,
unsought,
alone,
adrift,
Life for a lone log, is as gay as swift
All mine, d endless lamps that shine upon
the unruly waves, d whole horizon
Pausin to applaud, pausin to offer
To some rudderless lone log, a li'l succour
N movin, keep movin, on n away
The sea is too wanton, too wanton to stay
Driftin away, driftin alone
Until at last.......... Dry Land, n PEACE THEREUPON.
yaara mere- a passionate local usage, signifyin, o buddy o mine.
