I find myself
Drowning in the auburn
Of the morning sky,
And it feels the way
Dry summer heat feels
Against wet skin;
I am disappearing
Into every thing
That stands out
But seems out of place
At the same time,
I know that
Everything tends to
Get worse before it
Eventually gets better,
But I cannot figure out
Where I am right now
In that timeline.

Things usually will become worse before improving, think positive!

This really struck a chord with me (it seems as though all of your poetry does). There seems to be such sadness in this poem, a despair that imbues all of life with a sense of melancholy. Sometimes, I realize I can’t find what I’m looking for in life because I have no idea what I’m looking for anymore, and I feel adrift on that proverbial sea, tossed about by every errant zephyr. They way you’ve expressed your feelings is beautiful despite the sadness of this piece. The imagery is so thoughtful and appropriate. It’s another wonderful example of your superb writing ability. Thanks for sharing this, Aaysid. ๐

This seems like an endless cycle. And one really doesn’t know whether it’s the start or the end.
The heat is getting to me too. Haha. Lovely writing! ๐
