Distraction

Dispel the storm in my heart.

I am drowning in the bitter sea behind my eyes.

Sail away through treacherous waves of fear and

Take me to a calmer shore.

Relief and shelter from nefarious torrent.

A breath above sordid swells of water.

Choking and gasping no more,

Thrown upon tranquil shores of reverie.

Ill tides on a dark horizon cannot reach me here,

On sands of escape and dream. I stare out into darksome brine.

Never to return.
