Adrift Across The World

Adrift across the world, 
I dreamt of black waters.
Flat sea from long ago.
Journey inside my mind,
choppers pick up that flow. 

Adrift across the world, 
opaque lisp on high tide.
Can’t quite get it all out,
I’m bitterly hindered.
A princess with a pout. 

Adrift across the world,
calling from my belfry.
An ache inside my throat
is so raw with shouting. 
It’s best not to emote.

Adrift across the world,
strange stories come alive. 
Murky surf pulls me in,
every forgotten land
chooses my voice again.
