Rollicking

I lay is this sea of listlessness
Drowning in nothing
Fighting to stay above the current
That prevents me from possibly going into despair
Or depression
Or worse:
Hopelessness.

If I ruffle the waters
I might enjoy them too much
Delight in their tickles
Beg for more
Wallow in its elation

Keep still, I tell myself
The end is near
And in there you will know the truth
Of your time
...I a'shore you
