Day 229: Voyage

Tangela Williams-Spann Life August 13, 2017 1 Minute

adrift.

floating along silently.

moving only as the waves decide

voices call from the shore

turn your head

fill your ears with liquid

the water is cold

but also calming

no need to fear

the sun is bright

blinding. burning.

eyes close to avoid the glare

skin still burns

still hurts

drifting further

further

away from the shore
