The Layer

The Layer

A Poem by Christoph Poe

I lay
Beneath the Sand.
The warmth keeps me alive
But it's a cold and desolate place.

The Sun gives me Hope.
The Moon gives me Peace.
But the Sand gives me
An insanity like no other.

I wasn't meant to rise.
I'm meant to lay beneath the Sand.
And if content didn't shroud me,
Struggle would rot me into nothingness.

Nice concept, it's like a microcosm of life your either content with it or as you say struggle and rot into nothingness. I am going to have to set aside some time to read your poetry and to learn more about the interesting way you think. Thank you for posting so I could enjoy your work.
