i live drifting in a sea of inquiry

there are no shores

i dream of beaches, cool shade under palm trees that smell of life

i wake up, floating once more

ocean water

it has no salt

all there is to do is to sit, wait for the calm water to carry me

off in the distance, i hear things

whenever i do, i realize i was lost in thought

there are two things i lose myself in

thoughts, and water

i idly wonder if the water seeks resolution

or if it differs from me

nightmares of a life on land

startling complexities that i can hardly process

i awaken to find myself once more

exactly at sea level

sometimes, i don’t dream

i awaken from dreamless sleep, into dreamless life

the transition doesn’t shock me

i notice it happened, maybe a quarter of a minute ago

there are no answers in this drift

I am in here.
