The Sand and the ShipA Poem by TheDuraMaterA poem about despair and feeling hopeless in situations that probably aren't.
Every step
Like a crack in the frame Or a tear in the page Withers with me, keeping pace Come join the sand, mocks the bottom The boards hear me too and I cannot begin To waive these pains, all of your lungs Sigh collectively when I drop my eyes And this anchor so pale Off the coast of a beautiful island is where I'll float Like a hermit leaving his shell, his miraculous bars Coat my hair like a sloppy hope Beaten by waves mercilessly to the point Of almost dissolving into myself and I am dizzy I can see the trees from where I lay © 2012 TheDuraMater |
