Lost At Sea

Sometimes I feel as though I were adrift on the sea. floating. lost.

I look around me, not recognizing my surroundings, although they are the same things I have seen for the past three years. never changing.

Sometimes I wish I was floating. lost. on a violet sea.

I long to hear the gentle lapping of the water. the sound of a fiercely blowing wind. to watch the storm clouds roll over.

I want the storms around me to match the storm within.

Sometimes I can feel the thunder. it crashes so loud inside my heart.

I long to look up to the break in the clouds. to see the sun shine through. clear and bright.

I long to believe that the sun will break through the clouds within, and shine light where the darkness thrives.

Lost is not always bad. the violet sea is beautiful. the rescue boat approaches.

    Lost isn't always bad, indeed. It can lead you to new undiscovered places that in the end, might learn you a valuable lesson on your journey.

    Thank you for sharing this. It's amazing.

  3. I find that the winds of change are always blowing. We just have to step outside once in a while to feel them. Keep a positive spirit and heart and you'll see things in life you've never seen before, even though they may have been there all along.

  7. Tracie, thank you for your comment on my blog. The past few weeks feel like I have been on a violent sea with the ups and downs of the waves of emotions about a situation that I helped to create by voicing disagreement with someone else.
