The Layer

I lay
Beneath the Sand.
The warmth keeps me alive
But it's a cold and desolate place.

The Sun gives me Hope.
The Moon gives me Peace.
But the Sand gives me
An insanity like no other.

I wasn't meant to rise.
I'm meant to lay beneath the Sand.
And if content didn't shroud me,
Struggle would rot me into nothingness.

Nice concept, it's like a microcosm of life your either content with it or as you say struggle and rot into nothingness. I am going to have to set aside some time to read your poetry and to learn more about the interesting way you think. Thank you for posting so I could enjoy your work.

Why thank you! You actually FULLY understood this. Some people read my poetry and they just 'shrug' and say "Hey, it was nice."

So it's wonderful to see someone actually understand it. :)

Thanks again.
