Floating

These melodies drift through the air
Creating the echoes of feelings
That reside in a soul
Thoughts that were lost among the sands of time

Looking out as the waves pass by
A new meaning begins to surface
Though the songs come and go
Like ripples scattered by the wind
Their impact remains

The thoughts that swirl around the docks
Are merely a whirlpool of daydreams for all to see
As we float through the streams of life
And wait for the coming dawn

Broken

Circles of glass cover the salty droplets as they pour down
The red flares up again
Look away or blot it out
Either option is met with more fire
Pepper in some choice words
Do they sink in to the mind?

One pebble sinks to the bottom
The echo falls across the water
A hand clears the droplets
Sadness turns to defiance

Prove that word wrong
