A lost soul

I am but
A lost soul
Drifting along in the vast ocean

I drift along with the waves
Aimlessly, cluelessly
With no sense of urgency
nor a care in the world

I drift further away from the shore
From the safety and security of the land
Into unknown territories
That has yet to be explored

Bruised and battered
Disappointed again and yet again
Till hope is lost
Cherished dreams destroyed

My tears mingle with
The salty sea water
Who can see my pain
When will it ever cease

The shore is my hope
How I long to be back
To that solid ground
Where warmth will surely surround me

I am waiting and waiting
For someone to guide me back
Back to the safety of the sancturary
Who will it be......





Okie this is my maiden attempt at writing poems in a very long time, so I can be forgiven for butchering the english language and hope that Tennyson or shakespear would not come after me. And no, I am not depressed or anything, just felt melancholic and wanted to come up with a sad poem that expresses my feelings and lets face it, I am perpetually lost ....
