Sea of Forgetfulness

The same calm waters

that once brought peace

are no longer familiar

the recollection of the past

of times that were good

are no longer recognizable

Like a stranger in a foreign land

those memories of old

are churned by the crashing waves

tossed and turned

twisted and swirled

surrendered to the sands of time

and then a glimmer of light

peeks through opaque clouds

and a moment of clarity appears

into the sea of forgetfulness

castaway all my fears
