Best Be Adrift Poems

Ah! To be adrift upon the boundless sea sailing, sailing, sailing!
Alone with the sea and pristine sky with southerly winds prevailing.
No particular destination in mind as upon the surging sea I plod,
Nor is there another soul in view as I quietly commune with God!

Ah! ...

Many now, the years have passed,
Since I found my heart at sea,
And never have I shared the tale
That I now will grant to Thee ...

We'd been a-sail for fifty weeks -
Chasing blues and fins and sperms,
Filling, fast, the holds with oil,
To head home on good...

Ah! To be adrift upon the boundless sea, sailing, sailing, sailing!

   Alone with the sea and pristine sky with southerly winds prevailing.

      No particular destination in mind as upon the surging sea I plod,

I may simply be adrift
           save for words to stir my heart
feelings lost to bitter winds
were it not for words

How to capture fireflies

My dream, my undying yearning, 
Is to dwell in a dream-world of my own,
In a misty city amid teal lakes and white peaks,
Filled with clear waters, lush groves and majestic pines,
With marvelous minimalist halls of mid-century design. 

I seek to read in lofty libraries and...

Future held such initial promise
But shallow dreams disintegrated
Coalescing into shallower reality

Despite my youth, pain cripples me to geriatric apathy
General interest long gone, death has become the single concern
A welcome embrace, a welcome friend
Tardiness is expected, as well as encouraged

Release me from these eternally shrinking walls
Allow...

Inspiration is stymied by these walls
Deeper into a depression she falls

All she needs to do is go outside
And on a unicorn she will glide

The splendor below is God’s great gift
And it feels so free to be adrift

Meadow flowers shine in rainbow hues
A lazy dog is...

Santa learned about a year ago that the North Pole was thawing slow,
And in the not too distant future, he may be adrift on a perilous floe!
That was disturbing, but another situation has elicited little cheer.
(As if the jolly old gent didn't have enough to...

Night’s shadow lours upon the world
And the streets are silent like the
Netherworld—without a single
Morning soul to be seen or heard.
But amidst the dimness is a lone
Lit nest serving toffee flavored coffee,
And as the jukebox sings “Do I Worry” ,
Wistful...

What if the world wasn't so swift? It wouldn't be adrift and caught in an awful rift.

What if we acknowledge each other as sister's and brothers? Instead of separation we become a congregation' under GOD one nation.

From your eyes can you visualize a world that...

Being your daughter has been an incredible gift.
You and Dad have given me such a wonderful life.
I know that, before me, your lives seemed to be adrift,
But, because of you, I am a mother and a wife.

You both raised me with nothing but happiness and...

Where would my reason come from?
My purpose for rising at dawn – for risking my heart,
For giving a part of my smile, a part of my light…

Where would I go when I want to show?
My thoughts on the page, my thoughts of love and faith,
The...

If not for you, I wouldn’t have know
What true Love really meant
I'd never have felt this inner peace:
I wouldn't be content
If not for you, I’d never have
The pleasure of true romance
I'd have missed the bliss and craziness
of Loves sweet, sweet silly dance
I need to feel...

I met this girl a few weeks ago.
 Shes the sweetest one I know.
 She changed my life for the best.
 I never felt like this with the rest.
 Shes an angel sent from above.
 Shes my new love.

 Her birthday is on Easter Sunday.
