drifting
jeffrey robin Apr 2015
we are
                                                               drifting

so far from home

( we are )

So far from home                                      

••
••

Hey I know your name

It's

LITTLE MISS  LONELY CHILD

//

the winds hit your cheeks

some say you are crying

//

( Drifting

Drifting )

••

so far from home                                  

//
//

                 You

Have learned to see so far

You              

have come to sense all Reasons

beginning to know

just who you are

••

Starting to understand your freedom

////

On the wild periphery

Where all true souls are gathering

Away from the subtle games they teach

That lead to only slavery

///

WE ARE DRIFTING DRIFTING DRIFTING !

to the center of LIFE ITSELF

with no regrets
No hesitation

Drifting



So far from home

To

wherever the pure road leads

To be
whatever is needed now

WE ARE THE HUMAN RACE

and we ain't goin anywhere else

Than to our own true EARTH

no matter what the War Lords say

//

We are drifting

Drifting free

And free we shall remain
You say that you love me
But I'm drifting
You say that you need me
But I'm drifting
You say so many things
But I'm difting
      Away from you
             On the muscles of waves
Salt in my eyes sting like watery pins
Cause I'm drifting
Outside your embrace, sun burns skin
Cause I'm drifting
I'm sickend by my own love for you
Cause I'm drifting
      The current is merciless
             My esophagus has it's own tide
I'm lost in a desert of continuos motion without an ore or sail
I can see you no more
       unless you save me from drifting  
              outside your life
                     outside your heart
              outside of your bedroom door
Just when I'm about to let go
The light house begins to show
You say the words
That keep me from drifting
You say them so sweet and so kind
They keep me from drifting
But I come to with the painful  
        experiences I've had with you
                And all I want to do
Is continue to drift away from you too

Drifting
Mariah Langton May 2015
I can feel myself drifting
Drifting away from the world and reality,
Drifting away from all the happiness
Drifting
I can feel myself drifting.
I struggle to grab ahold of something,
anything,
To keep me grounded,
but there isn’t anything around.
Empty space surrounds me,
it swallows me whole.
I feel my breath start to slow,
I feel tears pricking at my eyes.
I can feel myself drifting
Drifting.
