that night i escaped from home 

ran to the pier

to clear


my thoughts that were clouded like the horizon

as i stared into that dark moody sky

the warm breeze that blew the brown grass

easing the anxiety that filled my brain


the water was so calm, i could see 

the fear that looked back at me

as the moonlight illuminated 

the water


in the distance, there were grey-sailless sailboats

i had things in common with

we both had no destination

stuck in the same place


not knowing where i would go next 

but i would always have this pier

to remind me why i am here
