All through the pandemic I've struggled with writing but something has shifted and now I give you a poem called:
Unknown Horizon
Unknown
Horizon
Float
Float
Float away
Losing time
Losing sleep
Never want
To begin
Never want
To finish
Forever stuck
Somewhere
In between
Drift
Drift
Drift into space
Lost in thoughts
And memories
Of what was
And what I want to be
Hard to grasp
On the now
Dive in
Anchor down
Rinse
And repeat
What time is it?
Zoning out again
Thoughts flit in
And what of it?
Am I lost
Or am I found?
Is this real
Or all a dream?
And what's
The difference
Anyway?
Floating
Floating
Floating in a sea
Of stars
Black symphony
Time slips away
Everything is now
In the eternal wake
Ra’s eye
Shines down
Blinding me
Can't see
What's right in
Front of me
Desired blindness
Darkness is a comfort
When the light burns
Keep going
Drifting
Drifting
Drifting away
Across the sea
Between
You and me
I remember
Everything
You forgot
And my heart
Still breaks
How long
Until I'm free
How long
Until I let go
Of the dreams
That were
For the dreams
That will be
Time to go
Time to...
Float away
From all the pain
Of what we can't
Have again
Drift with me
Into thee
Unknown
Horizon
Drift with me
Into thee
Unknown
Horizon

Never thought I'd write a poem again. I'm so relieved!
