I feel I’m adrift
And stand not upon solid ground
I’m sinking fast
How long can I hold
Onto the dead memories that passed
From my life without a sound

One hand clutching Earth,
And one reaches for Heaven
With one hope to breathe
The air of innocence
And a chance to see
Through naked eyes again

I can’t live like this
With a knowledge of truth
I can be so believing
And given to gentle persuasion
Time can be so deceiving,
In the passing of youth

I feel I am melting
With each passing day
Nothing matters anymore
To me; nothing, no one
Will be the same as before
Set adrift on an endless sea,

Finding our way

To be "set adrift on an endless sea..."  I do hope you find your way, as I too, am looking for mine, in that same sea you wrote of.  It does seem so infinately endless at times.....Thanks for sharing.
