Poem: The Current

THE CURRENT
2010072571 - c2010 wlc

Currently
Richard Marx plays on my mac
Lisa's scarfing medicine
You're upstairs reading
My everything

Yesterday
So full of emotion, I
Suppressed the overwhelming feelings
Went out to see a friend
Lest I send me reeling

Today
I waded into water
The current took me into it
I felt so weightless yet so strong
Just a candle barely lit

Tomorrow
I'll head to work again
In my heart is where you'll be
I'll talk to people 'bout a desk
But it's your face I always see

Currently
Not a weight upon my shoulders
I ebb and flow, a pond with wind
Fed by springs, both warm and cold
Outward calm, alive within
