Adrift

So lost
A young soul
Thoughts scattered
Directionless
Unable to align
Himself to the
Stars
Horizon
Land

Within
His imagined lands
Filled with lofty towers
Forbidden Planets
Bright dragon plunders
Drawing in
Where life makes
Sense

Without
Papers run away like wolf frightened sheep flocks
Socks never find their mates
The road home, a twisted maze
A soul
Adrift


Ken Goree


This is about a young student I know.  He’s adrift in life, and resistant to learning to use a compass.
