Message in a Bottle

 Here we are, 

Another day, 

And I with no clue what to say.


The light seems dull, 

The colors grey, 

My mind is lost, 

I'm far away.


Tossed upon

Some distant shore,

I year for home, 

Forevermore.


And yet no home

I've ever known,

Has held my heart,

And ceased its roam.


This longing

That has lived in me,

A decade least,

Closer to three.


Has haunted

Every dream and plan,

Towards it

I have always ran.


With bloodied feet,

And broken knees,

I swam through

Shark infested seas


Over beds of coals

And pits of snakes

Every shortcut

I could take.


Still it stays

Just out of reach

No matter how

I plead, beseech.


"A wandering, 

Wanton, wicked thing,"

Says any man

When asked his dream.
