Dark Blue

Syd

At a steep angle
The bottle does glug
The glass fills fast
With awe I gasp

Stops my worries in their tracks
A salt line to a slug...

A taste of freedom
Down my throat
Worries jettisoned
My sacred medicine

Temporary isolation
Just a tidal moat...

Why are we here?
I don't remember
The summer gives way
To the misty mornings of September

Early dementia
Who are you?
At depth I yearn
For bioluminescent blue

You feel the dark cold?
I feel it too

    This poem has a special feel to it. It feels liquid in color and it flows quenching a thirst. Nicely done my friend
