Drifting .....

Like a boat
Drifting .....Drifting .....
Out in the middle of the ocean
Drifting .....Drifting .....
Barely existing
Drifting .....Drifting .....
All alone I float
Drifting .....Drifting .....
This old boat has a few hole's
Drifting .....Drifting .....
I barely stay a float
Drifting .....Drifting .....
The wind begins to blow
Drifting .....Drifting .....
In no particular direction, just
Drifting .....Drifting .....
I'm Surrounded by Darkness
Drifting .....Drifting .....
The rain continues to fall
Drifting .....Drifting .....
I'm in the center of a major storm
Drifting .....Drifting .....
I'm faced with all my fears
Drifting .....Drifting .....
I try to hold steady
Drifting .....Drifting .....
Will I ever reach the shore
Drifting .....Drifting .....
The waves continue crashing
Drifting .....Drifting .....
How much more must I endure
Drifting .....Drifting .....
Will I ever make it home
Drifting .....Drifting .....
Feeling nothing but despair
Drifting .....Drifting .....
Knowing I can never return
Drifting .....Drifting .....
To the place that I belong
Drifting .....Drifting .....
Where the memories of you remain strong
Drifting .....Drifting .....
Everything just feels so wrong
Drifting .....Drifting
My tears continue to fall
Very sadly Drifting .....
as the waves slowly carry me along.

About the Author
My dear son Nick(who was only 17) was tragically killed by a train in 2011. My husband had passed the following year, his Cancer had returned. In 2013 I had lost the rental home we had lived in. (15 years.) The home that my husband and I had treated as our own. The home that I remember my husband and I had replaced the roof on. The home that holds all the precious memories that are with me always. My heart has become so broken, it's beyond repair. I miss everything that use to be, I just need to find away back home. Since that home has recently been sold, that hope no longer feels possible for me. Going through this process is what had inspired my poem. My dear son Nick had a great soul. To know Nick ... is to love Nick. He was the Heart and Soul of our Family, my heart is Forever broken, my world is completely crushed. I miss him so very much. (I'm barely existing...just Drifting.)
I'm Grieving, Now What?
