No Dry Land

Stranded yet again in waves

Of things beyond my understanding

Swept away so clearly

Can’t tell what’s real or fantasy

In so far over my head

I may never see the sun

Swimming against the tides

Was never quite so pointless

Confused and clouded with the visions

Flashes, few and fleeting

Convinced me of my false direction

And now, my vision cleared

I’m left to float on aimlessly

A victim of strong self-deception

The undertow reaching for my feet

And no dry land in sight
