On my back in a sea of uncertainty It rolls lifting me up And gliding me down Its wavering surface calms me like The calm before the storm Storm clouds wept in the distance Cool grey clouds seem to surround me I never know when the sky begins And the ocean ends Gentle like a mother holding her first child For the first time A slow rocking makes my mind drift Like it hasn't since I was a child The water has long since soaked Me to the bone Filling me up with nothingness The wind whispers stories Like teenage girls trying to keep a secret The place seems endless Of sleepless time And timeless nothing Drifting in and away from This world's problems Like every dark thought sank And every light one keeps me Floating A kind of purgatory No ...........good No.............bad Just you floating there And that's it drifting It's like that moment before sleeping Seconds between awake and asleep When everything fades Like in a fog I see something A shape at the edge of the nothing I feel so unconcerned As stars fall into the water They make no sound There is no ripples The shadows grow lighter And I fly higher The water shapes into bubble like forms Drifting around me If only I could just be here forever Drifting on my back Nothing holding me down
