Drifting

by Karen Erickson/Sagittarius - Not entered

flotsam and jetsam drifting
together in the open sea
bonded by an unseen force
creeping with the tidal pulls
drawing us near the shore, 
you cling secure to your rock.

the yearning sea pulls me back
out to the expanse of loneliness
floating helpless I ache to find
more discarded members
hoping the moon will draw me in
to my waiting rock.

I long for the days when the sea
allows me to drift past you,
hoping you don't lose the grip
and get sucked back to the
empty, murky waters,
drifting alone with me again
among the flotsam and jetsam.

Reason for writing:

    
the unbreakable bond shared between best friends, even when they've found their soulmate and I haven't yet.
