Vessels

Sea of Stars

I lost you

In a sea of stars

I hold my telescope close to my chest

Sailing a vast ocean

Searching for your shining light

One by one

I yearn for the day the ocean sits still

So, I may see your flickering smile.

And sail home.

Empty Vessels

I want to go back to the stars. If they’ll have this tired soul . My eyes wander back up.

To the darkness . And see light, Sparkling back into me.

Blue hues reminding me, of peace and hope . Of a time that didn’t matter . It makes me smile .

I see the Carina, Upon the waves, Circling motions . The breeze drifting me away,

Brown curls sitting me effortlessly on a small empty vessel . That can’t seem to anchor , Or find home .

Ever changing colors , Blue to Green. They close back to the night , Where I can finally see

…

Tidal Waves

When I swim I feel so light?

Like all my problems are sinking And I’m floating away.

Swimming faster and faster ,

Escaping into my mind.

And in those moments ,

I knew I could swim forever.
