"Motionless"

Words on a hidden cloud

Poems and dreams

I long to visit

when the silence is the only echo.

Threads of time

past into present silence

Words about exotic birds

flying over my ocean,

when I was land, sky, salt air. Untouchable, forever moving.

Now

muggy sands

dried from receding waters,

inclement weather,

whispering winds. A boat lopsided. Shipwrecked .

Paddling in vain through entangled seaweeds

Stagnant

forever motionless.
