Drifting Nowhere

Waves on the ocean

Take me away somewhere

I cast the oars overboard

And lie back, eyes towards the stars

The waves still

And I’m drifting over a mirror

Stars above me, stars below me

Until the boat disappears

And I’m drifting through the nothingness

Between the stars

Somewhere

Anywhere

Drift, drifting, drifted

Away

This goes along with my poem Fading, written in the perspective of a character in a story I'm currently working on.
