Shelter from the Storm

Shelter from the Storm

I'm seeking shelter
From the storm wracked margins of my mind
Where exist the unborn thoughts
And detritus of a life unkind.
Evaporating thoughts
Fading into the ether
Echoing across time and space
Trying to find their final resting place.
I'm looking for a safe harbour
To weigh anchor
A sheltered bay
To wait out the tsunami of thoughts.
All I need is a little shelter from the storm.
The Darkness builds to a crescendo
And the waves come crashing down on me.
A relentless pounding and hammering of my being.
Planks fracture
No longer water tight
The sea pours through.
I fight an endless fight
To keep from losing You.
I'm seeking shelter from the storm
Can you help me find a safe harbour to anchor in?

Thanks Mr Floyd. Yes indeed. Nick Drake - a great artist and writer of our times. His words live on, though he crossed the veil and shed his earthly body.
