The Sand and the Ship

The Sand and the Ship

A Poem by TheDuraMater
"

A 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
