motion

floating by Alistair Chong

I shut my eyes
Stop the light to my head
Cut the thoughts of myself
And listen instead

The world is passing by
Lost in the motion
Rushing flowing running
Lost in the commotion

Mosaic of sound hits me
Washes me over and away
White noise blacks me out
I dream and drift away

Standing on the bank
I watch as people swim
Take the time to climb out
And I smile.
