Adrift 

upon a turbulent sea

a life raft thrown

into his arms

now heavy as stone

with ropes attached

through loops unseen

dragging his soul

thru a horrid dream

breathless and thick

blood crashing down,

a rhythmic beat

beats a distant sound

while fingers reach

into thin air

grasping to find

nothing there.

This poem is my attempt to capture the moment we realize the passion is gone.
