Adrift

in my own world
misplaced in my own reality
No longer sure where I was heading
The place that I came from gone

Where do I go when directions are lost?
Where is my compass, my guiding light?

Here alone, wherever here is
no way of knowing if I’m moving at all

Paddling weakly in circles,
serene surface ripples
the only evidence I’m still alive

Eyes closed
Ears not listening
not wanting to hear
the silence that exists between two nowheres
