Away from the sea
staying afar from the people I love…
the fear is starting to creep in slowly ..
at times with the sound of a phone ringing
the heart’s rhythm of mine touching the skies..
also sometimes searching unjustly,
locking your eyes at the screen
with the time blaring off behind…
speeding fast with the images
in not so kind of a mind
knowing whispers of the wind couldn’t carry
the weight of the times
for the roots spread too long
yet greedily wishing on tethering the family’s love
& anchoring the friendships,
all being away from the sea
just about helplessly hoping to hold onto,
and to never stopping myself from
casting the lines to the stars
while still steering through the squalls
awaiting whatever comes through next
