white noise

stood upon the empty beach I gaze

wavering in placid air ablaze

igniting light to sifting haze

a lost momentum turning phrase

if alone I find myself to be

and sonder is my world to thee

barbarity across the land

like drops of sand

counting out no single act

but all in fact

pile upon this desolated wave a new

colors dripped in shades of blue

without a judge or even care

you stop to stare and wonder

if this siren song will pull me under

and questioning

a tune that’s best to sing

will you leave behind the safety of the shore

seek out more you can’t ignore

each blunder

remember

if you start drowning just focus on the white noise
