Michael Wise Poet Rhyme

Aimlessly Adrift

Disconnected from the people
and the things that I hold dear
On a course through time and space
I wonder what I'm doing here

Black miasma overwhelms me
paralyzing life and mind
I feel like I'm the piece that's missing
from a puzzle I can't find

Cold stagnation ever seeping
ever creeping in my soul
All my yearnings and my longings
keep me in this deep dark hole

With the knowledge that I'm drowning
in a pool of my own fear
Aimlessly adrift, I wonder
what the hell I'm doing here

Heidi Sands January 26, 2019 at 11:57 AM I found this to be sad and hope that you are not in a dark hole and there will be light seen and felt soon. Well written Michael :) Michael Wise January 26, 2019 at 1:07 PM I have been going through some challenging things lately, planning major changes in my life this year. But it's not as bad as all that. Thank u Heidi for your kind thoughts. :)

Caren Krutsinger January 26, 2019 at 1:35 AM This one made me smile, as you have expressed some of my most powerful feelings in such a way, that I can feel them. Michael Wise January 26, 2019 at 7:18 AM I am glad you found a connection to it Caren, thank u! :)
