embracing the vessel that
can alliviate this grief
my life on pause
intimidated by the big screen
contemplating self-destruction
a consumer of capsules
anticipating one last high
before drifting out to sea
back into to the deep

'lo Lottie. I'm hoping and assuming that Drifting isn't too personal? Don't do it lass! Very much like the idea behind back into the deep. back, like the sparrow in many northern cultures flying into the brightly lit hall and then back out into the dark. The big screen ? The bigger picture? - or how we're told things ought to be, in the movies?
Sweetly desolate.
Graham.

Alice and David, thank you for your comments.
Kipper - you assume correctly, this is not too personal, just words! I like the idea of the sparrow (never knew that about them!). Intimidated by the big screen = world. We live in the big screen.
Thanks for comments!
Lottie :-)

Hi Lottie,
Glad that this was words you played with and not too personal! It read like desperation washing over the soul and a cry for answers, someone searching for an anchor, a release to help them through the choppy waves of a personal storm.
A well written piece, keep up the good work, I look forward to reading more.
Love and luck
Sam

Sam,
Thanks for your comments much appreciated - this was a piece I wrote a few years ago (when i was looking for answers to that most commonly asked question "what is life for"!!, was going through a questionable time in my life - have revisited this piece because the question came up again recently.
tweaked for the better I hope..and have definately found my answer :-)
thanks for encouragement.
Lottie :-)

Hi Lottie,
I'm glad you found the answer.
I'd say the answer is always there, it's whether we individually have the patience and determination to wait for it to reveal itself.
I think we are stronger for passing through such trials.
An absent hug coming your way!
Sam :-)

thanks for your kind words, you are right the answer is always there to reveal itself once we have learned from the questions we are asking ourselves.
for every knock that chips away at us, it sculps us into the beautiful people we are today :-)
(((to life and each new day))))
Lottie :-)
