Relaxing in waters splashing on the sides
of my boat of conscious thoughts tides.
My hat covering ill views of the outside
world, I lingered relaxed as sight did hide.
But waters hid the lingering threat beneath
that all was not what it seemed underneath.
That I wasn't alone in this serine quiet place,
devouring needs, my normal thought displaced.
So many consuming my emotions all being replaced
I was no longer in harmony like I had been misplaced.
Still in my boat my only safe place, while they swam
around, I felt like I was singular and my mind a sham.
They rocked the boat tried to push me into despair
but my mind was winning they were going elsewhere.
An ocean of reflection is a large place to get lost in thought,
But if ever in waters not known, heed what this has taught.
