Lost At Sea

I’d had the dream before

so I’d seen the waves,

heard them

roar

and there was I

my childhood self

immersed

but still upright

still on my feet

playing games

in spite of it all.

And there am I again

my teenage self

immersed

but still upright

still on my feet

looking cool

riding

the rough

and the smooth.

And here I am now

my adult self

pensive

trying to work it out,

somewhat lost

all at sea

trying 

to let it wash over me.

But as the images flash past me

along with the jetsam and flotsam

I don’t think I’ll wake up this time.
