Flotsam
By cadymae
Bottled-up innocence
floating at sea
Attracts visitors
who gaze within
Fins nor whiskers
can touch it
nor paws
nor hairy arms
It bobs onward
towards shores
unknown but
hoped for
longed for
faintly calling
for
lit moon-path
leads true
drift inside
its outlines
within currents
drawing you home
towards lands of
sweet calmness
