Drifting (a poem)



Drifting

Pull away from the safety net
Swim into the unknown

Slow down your breath
Feel your pulse
You'll find the still truth

Away from the chaos
Apart from the openness
I find myself drifting

Although the island invites me back
I avert my eyes to the lonely sea

Assuring within that this is my place
Floating my way to resolution

I have hardly moved
Yet, I've truly leaped
Into where I must be.

I haven't written a poem in a long time.  But sleepless nights, a bit of reflection and some introspection will sometimes cause thoughts and words to flow together.   The above lines came to me recently in less than five minutes.
