Murky waters overflowing
bulging my ships seams
with clouded thoughts floating.

Float some...jettison some,

and what remains is a cold embrace
too distant to feel the warm
too close to not feel burnt
hearts churned in seething foam
while away underneath azured skies
flies a heartbeat seeking a distant star

as the steel highways steal time,
capture miles of rhyme ‘neath rubber treads,
souls waiting enrapture within heartbeat threads.

Murky waters find me in fitful sleep
within the arms of the keeper of the deep
oh, powerful Neptune,
why didn’t you drown me
long before I craved yonder shore?
Now silent clouded thoughts
lie awaiting the lift of the anchor.
And none of this makes sense anymore.

The murky waters of the deep dare not drown you, for if your life were to be claimed, Neptune would be in hot water with a multitude of your fans!

Murky waters....that's a perfect description for the kind of mood conveyed here.  Hang in there, Karcy.   ....jo

I almost didn't post this, thinking it might be a bit too murky in tone and hard to fathom.
thanks for reading and commenting,
Actually, it's a 'lighthearted' version of the original write, whcih was pure mud and muck.
