Distant Shores

Sail away to distant shores

and other worlds beyond your thoughts

Enter in, forgotten times

to greet the self that does not hide

Strip away the fake veneer

the face of cheer that masks your pain

silently accepting all

the hidden parts you’ve yet to change

Distant Shores

Thoughts

Nothing to say today. I’ve used up all my word allocation. Time for a lie down.
