Departure

A Poem by Marina

I depart

Everyday from the port of existence

To arrive to nothingness

One might question

This illogical trip of mine

As I

Voluntarily

Choose to disappear

Every day

Isn't it what trips are good for?

I put the dis- in appear

I am an expert in that-

A skill formulated after

many arduous reappearings

to nothingness

No passports,

No identification needed there

No one would check to see who you are

As you cross the disappearing side

But

when you return to the port of existence

You wish you would have taken a token with you

Because now

Noone can know you

With your see-through face

and your moist eyes,

You look exactly

Like that window being attacked by rain

Thank you Roxane. I appreciate your feedback :)

I like this....

Relates to the transparency of life; one can exist amongst the millions, and still be alone and invisible to all.
I enjoyed your suggestions of parallel existence. A fascinating concept and one much admired by a certain Mr. S.King.

Nice work.

This is quite sad. Like walking through a crowd of friends, and being ignored. I think we all run away from life from time to time. Maybe just because life has become mundane. I also think there's a plus side too. You can get the crap out your system. Nothing better than screaming at the sea.
