Welcome to my new blog. I'm a creative person, and I love to write poetry. That is what this blog is all about, really. I hope you like my poetry, and please feel free to leave any comments you might have!

Drifting

A boat in a river
No oars at its sides
The current flows fast
The banks are so wide
I float down the center
And look at the shore
Ghost people walk past
Their silence a roar
I use my hands
And paddle long
For I’m not strong
Finally I reach it
A hand grasps mine
I’m filled with elation
It’s been a long time
I’m walking with people
Talking as well
I’m filled with belonging
My heart seems to swell
Then my foot hits a stone
I stumble and fall
The people stop talking
No one answers my call
I hang my head
The world starts to fade
Tears run down
It’s how I was made
I’m on a bench
In a little space
The boat rocks gently
I know this place
A boat in a river
No oars at it’s side
The current flows fast
The banks are so wide
I float down the center
And look at the shore
Ghost people walk past
And I watch them once more
