The lights fade.
Sunrise, Sunset...
As the tidal flows ebb.
I lie here choking
On your salty waters
Still hard and smooth to the surface
But soft at the core
Washed out and washed up
As everyone expected me to be.
It's like the tsunami
Floating on subtle signs
- The ones that the tourists never see
It's been only to your benefit
- These machines.
Please say goodbye and let me go
Set me adrift out to sea.

This is a very good poem! You say it's an original. Did you write it? You did a good job. Thank you for sharing it with us. I remember daddy had a piece of driftwood he kept for a long time. I don't know whatever happened to it and I don't know where he got it, either, lol

Thank you!
Yes, I wrote it. One of my medications sometimes causes strange nightmares. I'd actually had a dream about a music video "The Black Parade" by My Chemical Romance... and that instead of the man dying in the video that it was me, fading in and out.
