Poem -

on these waters

Tis a strange place 
To be
to find oneself

The living back there
on a cusp of that land
the dead up on stars
ever reaching down hands

we on the waters
with struggling breath
Alive in the drowning
Alive in these deaths

which are not

Apart and Apart and not knowing
a place where a sun once more
shines where some god finds

enough grace

to help

Hi Syd, they say we are either alive or we are dead... nobody mentions the third state of existence do they. Truly appreciated X

"tis a strange place ..."   
What a line to draw in your reader! You just know that something profound is coming. And it does come.

"The dead up on stars ever reaching down hands ..."

"we on the waters 
with struggling breath
Alive in the drowning
Alive in these deaths ..."

Fantastic. You always grab your reader and feed them delicious words. Your poetry is sublime xx

We can find some answers for ourselves...

Some answers will always  be a Mystery...

On your Life's Path...

Not all treasure is Shiny...

If it glows like a Nose...

Chances are...

If it doesn't...

Be safe...
