Drifting

poem by: P Mason
Written on Dec 03, 2016

The road drifts north along an empty shore.  
It goes somewhere away from all that pressures 
the soul and heart of 
those alone in this world.  
Headed no place certain, 
just alone. 

Mulling endlessly of histories  that never happened.  
Speaking, 
yelling into empty places 
and shattered emotions 
within the echoes of their personal 
prison. 

Those that live between the spaces of life 
spend theirs searching for any meaning.  
Only rarely finding that wish within the dust, wind, and 
Death 
that surrounds their very 
existence

After a month of this, with 17 free verse poems and three unpublished haiku...I realize that I've written a lot of very dark stuff. Seamus Heaney once commented that poems come from pain....who am I to argue. That said, however, I'm enjoying this all tremendously.
