Floating
a poem
In the middle of the ocean
cradled by the waves’ commotion
all I have are dulled emotions
shaped by the waters’ erosion
Where does the sky end and the sea begin
No matter how long I stare
it feels like I’m floating in the air
Without a fin in here I think of where I have been
In the depths it felt so lonely
All of them were so bony
Thought it could be homely
but it left me so coldly
Once there I couldn’t recognise my face
I chased it because I was in a daze
Fearing being stuck, I was in a race
at a fast pace, I might have left a trace
When I emerged, I ran towards the sun
into the bright blue and the blinding one
I couldn’t be deterred as I took flight
I felt so light I lost all foresight
It burned so much it set me ablaze
Being pushed back by the rays
I fell into the waves blanketed by the haze
as I lay I coudn’t feel my weight
For now, in the middle I will stay
even if I don’t get all the answers
I say too far around the edges
you might start to lose your senses
