Thursday

SLIPPING GENTLY?

There are no windows in this silent place
Only rooms and corridors - only space
On the brink I hover and gaze down
Into a deep deep pool where I could drown

A drowsy peace creeps over me
And I slip nearer, nearer to the beckoning sea
All would be peace and deep tranquility
If I allow the pounding waves to keep me company
It's in the vast unknown regions where I now climb
Into the corridors of my troubled mind.
