It was you who drug me
Out of the doldrums of my life
Wind would not carry me
Nor the tide
Stagnant, I moved in endless circles
Washed over 1000 times
By storms of the past
Til one day
You caught me in your net
And hauled me in.
A mermaid,
Without a tale
I was a sorry mess.
I was sinking to the bottom
Twenty fathoms below
Drooling seawater
As my heart began to beat again
You touched my brow,
I found I could feel again.
All my flailing had been for naught
Until the net you cast,
Brought an end to my wandering.
I would lay in the hold of your boat forever
As you brought me back to land.
There to dry out
To feel the wind blow
To feel the sunlight on my face
Peel the seaweed from my face
And rinse the salt from my hair
I was safe there
With you.
Forevermore would be.
Because you saved me
From being lost at sea.

Deb, you brought these words to life:
“I was a sorry mess.

This is beautiful!
Oh man, thank you trE. Seriously I’ve had a bit of a block today, so I’m glad it came out well! It’s a daydream, lol. But I’m swimming, looking for a net…..Big hugs!!!
I agree with Tre. Your words bring this daydream to life.
Thanks Margarita. So nice of you to say so! 💙
You’re welcome, Deb!
The title caught my eye, and ran into a lovely dreamlike metaphor, with hope..
Thanks. Yes a dream. I still have them. Lol.
