Antediluvian

The gates broke and I am drowning in the aftermath
It is cold and I am frightened
So this is what loneliness is.
Losing what you love the most.
So what is next?
How long can I float in this endless sea,
in my storming mind?
And I’ll be damned if the sun is not going down.
Ah – the north star.
I find direction
God winks and blinks
and I mark the moment
that the brightest of stars
is snuffed out between God’s fat fingers.
So here I am without land to kneel on,
returning as all life does, to the sea.
Waiting for a little light, a little love, and a large life-jacket.
