Swim

Author: Unknown

Floating
amidst a cold, impersonal sea,
adrift
interspersed by deceptive jubilee
alone
None to save thee
suffering
numb to life's trivial cares
drowning
by thy own device.
Orphaned,
disowned by the world,
forlorn,
waiting, sea shall claim its bounty
sinking
embracing a cerulean deep
alone
none knowing thy demise.

Hi, Aerosmith92,
It's nice to keep one's head above water whileFloating amidst a cold, impersonal sea. Warmer waters abound.

Stark, yet beautiful and effective.
