In Need of Anchor

By Christopher7xii

With the wind
within the sky
A soft breeze blows by
Adrift

My skin the flesh that binds me to the world
Mind escapes into the ether
 of the extremists possibilities
Adrift

I dream of being carried away with that wind
within the sky
Outside my mind
Adrift

Strange the pressure of the air keeps me together
Pushing me inward and trapping me inside myself
Supposedly prisoned inside my mind
Yet my thoughts continue to melt who I am
They continue to break me
Running rampant into dark recessions
Within me
Adrift
