Derrek Bovee Poet Rhyme

Directionless Horizon

The depths captivate me,

A river as vast as the sea.

Thoughts recede with the tide

Murky waters that swallow my pride

 

A crescent moon lurks in the sky

Morbid radiance that caught my eye,

So alone, yet surrounded by an ocean of stars

Imperfect orb riddled with scars.

 

Tracing constellations with my fingers

Only emptiness lingers,

Scanning space for the unknown

Looking for answers yet to be shown.

 

Home is non-existent,

But my tired feet remain persistent

One foot in front of the other

Baby steps without the help of another

 

Directionless I walk,

So lonely I swear the trees could talk

But I know I must continue moving

I’ll admit, the uncertainty is slightly soothing

 

Grinning a defeated smile

I collapse in the sand for awhile,

Searching a sky so distant

Once a man, now an infant.
