Streams of Consciousness
Stunned and silenced
My body cries out for sleep
But there is no rest
There is only this
Recovery in writing
I should be happy
Some have no outlet
When their body screams "Enough!"
Even still I do
Fingers to keyboard
Skipped intermediate steps
I write how I feel
Then a dream erupts
A waking dream of gardens
And beaches once walked
Oh, to return there
I know we will some sweet day
Apparently soon
It's no longer I
As this pirate ship's captain
It sails itself
So she takes the lead
The wind calms and God sets sails
Heading straight to shore
My body cries out for sleep
But there is no rest
There is only this
Recovery in writing
I should be happy
Some have no outlet
When their body screams "Enough!"
Even still I do
Fingers to keyboard
Skipped intermediate steps
I write how I feel
Then a dream erupts
A waking dream of gardens
And beaches once walked
Oh, to return there
I know we will some sweet day
Apparently soon
It's no longer I
As this pirate ship's captain
It sails itself
So she takes the lead
The wind calms and God sets sails
Heading straight to shore
