Limbo

I feel lost and I feel Found I’m cold but Dripping warmth My heart stopped beating but My blood kept flowing My lungs Frozen My breath icy I’m choking Suffocating on my own breath My breath icy I’m choking But I can’t die I cling to life and I dream Death My nights awake With the tide coming in My heart A seashell washed ashore And cracked Or rather chipped By my own tide Yet I am the source What happened to me? How did I lose it? Where did I go wrong?

I am enjoying reading the very diverse poetry here this morning in my Soupland. Words pouring onto paper from poets souls. What a joy to be able to sit and read such wonderful poetry for awhile today. Have a very good day Nasilele. Love, Carol
