Deborah Burch Poet Verse

Adrift

Adrift

I found myself adrift
alone out on the sea
a leaky boat
no overcoat
and very little brie

The tide began to shift
great waves engulfing me
they pulled me down
without a sound
and I could not swim free

But low there was a rift--
a crack in time--to be
a way to win
and to begin
returning from the sea...
