The Briny Blue
By Butternose
I guess I’ll go with what works for me.
The sky,
The beach,
And the ocean in between.
My body’s to the left,
My soul’s to the right.
It’s a beautiful day,
Likely to lead into a beautiful night.
But what would happen if I just up and left?
Start walking forward,
No looking back,
Leaving everything adrift.
Would my new life
Accept me,
Repress me,
Excite me,
Ignite me?
What’s out there in the big briny blue?
I’ve always wondered.
Is there something that’s better?
Another existence deep in the sea,
Deep down below,
In the depths of the dark,
Waiting for me?
I think I’ll close my eyes now,
And wish these thoughts away.
For now, I guess I’ll go with what works for me.
The sky,
The beach,
And the ocean in between.
