Afloat Poem by Viola Grey

Afloat

Rating: 4.3


There's a crashing in my ears,
having conversations with my soul,
asking unanswerable questions
of a weary resolve.
Floating....Drifting....
On an ocean of uncertainty
the tide beats like a drum
of every broken heartbeat.
Washing...Cleansing...
I drift towards an amber horizon,
wonder whether a flat world
would greet my curious feet.
Fading...Receding...
Out, then in amidst the waves,
still frothing their teeth
before biting the sand.
There...you stand...
waving...
calling me back to shore,
open arms gesture,
begging for my heart.
Through azure shaded glasses
I watch...I wonder...
do I float...
or fall...
back into love.

You gotta stay afloat, Vi. Never go back - always move forward.

a lot of floating and drifting amidst emotional waves help wash clean the mind free of despair and grief...the subdued emotions find firm sandy bed once again to spot heart's sunny smile on the wait....lines of grief and of relief beautifully packed inside the write...10/10
