Adrift in deep space,
an astronaut lost, no wind
to feather still sails.
Oblivious world
uncaring turns, in silence
as oxygen fails.

too much coffee, too little sleep, a love of words…
Adrift in deep space,
an astronaut lost, no wind
to feather still sails.
Oblivious world
uncaring turns, in silence
as oxygen fails.
