Adrift

For the unfortunate victims of MH 370, both on the plane and at home. My heart goes out to you.

Adrift the ocean floor

I searched for you

Every effort met with a closed door

 

I seek an answer

I question the fish nearby

They're lost too , as they wish to find you

 

You fell out of the pocket of clouds

As the world went quiet

With the absence of your sound

 

You wish to be found

Reunited on familiar ground

But the selfish tide, she hides you away

 

It has been plenty a day

come home already

Help us find a way

 

Adrift are you even further than before

Like a lighthouse of hope I search the shore

Waiting to hold you in my arms once more

 

If you're not coming home tonight

I'll see you in the terminal of paradise

Till then I'll endure these sleepless nights

Very well written Keegan. Lets stop for a moment and pay our respects to those who are lost and who were just like us.

Searching through the darkness of the sea, you hope to find someone.
It made me think of a cloudy day, the ocean a light grayish blue.
Someone walking on it's floor, searching for someone forever more.
Well played. ^^

The most effective part of this piece is the move from short to long ... it subtly transitions the poem, and makes it much more powerful in its ending.

You definitely notice things people don't normally look into. Not to say I consciously followed such a pattern, but I marvel in the way you read poetry its quite refreshing < 3

Thank you very much. I owe it to a history of loving poetry and then working as an editor.
