Stranded

Yearning for A Different Perspective

Stranded in a panicked sea

I long to be where you are

Lost in thought behind a stormy window pane

Evened by what tears me apart

Not kicking, not dwindling, not ever-sinking

Crystallized by the still and the hush and the wisps of what could be

Empty and insulated and free

Acrostic
