Daily missive for Monday the 23rd of May.~by Peter Forster

 

 

Daily missive for Monday the 23rd of May.

Take me to the water
Bathe me in the ocean
Drown my sorrow
In the wash
Of the rolling sea
Scrub me clean
The salt of the earth
Will heal my
Troubled soul
It will be carried
On the waves
Float in a stream
Of unconscious
Until it finds
A passage home
Released from the burden
Light as a feather
It will sail
Over the horizon
Into the void beyond
My understanding
Where the moon lies
The sun sleeps
And morning
Is broken
By the helping hand
Of time.
