I AM A-WAVE


For one to be a-wake,

they must also be powerful.

What could be more powerful than the ocean itself?

 

Sometimes i also say that "I am a-wave".

For I feel that this encapsulates the expression better.

 

Where exactly did the meanings reverse?

To say "I am awake" these days and mutter slothfully

or exclaim with an attitude of irritation.

 

Perhaps it is a slap to one's servile ignored nature to proclaim such a heresy...

and perhaps an insult to the real truth;

forever suspended within a "fragile" tragic moment.

Yeti Noone

poet, mystic. Wrote it but somehow... missed it. Dark prose is somewhat of an artform of mine. Each portrait is akin to a dark meditation on the human condition/consciousness or lack thereof.
