Drifting

Drifting

A Poem by limoncello

it's not a feeling I can describe
its everything and nothing
too little and too much
at the same time
I'm everywhere and nowhere
thinking that I'm not 
disconnected from a mind
floating off
just drifting

thank you carola, i'm glad you liked it!
Nice work, although it's not clear whether the writer regards the dissociation as a positive or negative experience. It captures the feeling itself perfectly. Personally, I enjoy the relaxing effects when I just drift away - some of my favorite poems have come to me that way!
I enjoyed the lightness of this piece very much.

wow! a peek into dissociating ... your poem is disarming in the reading ... for what i imagine is a rather terrifying experience ... in life ..the repetition of difficult times does breed some level of comfort and taming of the fear ...but this poem is something else limoncello .. thank you very much for sharing ..i love it...wouldn't change anything ... and the text to the right of the page is perfect in its effect with your poem ..

i really like this it's short and sweet and has a good air to it, I'll make one suggestion though, on the last line, "just drifting away" would sound good. nice work though

yes i agree with you too, it's a phonetically better finish.
I am wondering if this interesting poem describes a practice of the poet's or an actual symptom.
