obsession
possession
powerlessness
silence
as traumatic experiences do

it binds and grasps so strongly
but can also tear us apart

shipwreck
the man without a vessel, a solitary plume
overwhelmed, untouched
A world of shipwrecks,
there is hope, and uncertainty
creative space for silence, and pause

beautiful! the description of men a 'shipwrecks' really appeals to me. i also love the line where you say that 'there is hope'; the way the poem ends on a positive note shows how despite all the negativity and havoc all around us, at the end of the day (poem in this case) light will always triumph! i will check your profile out for more. if you are interested, i have poetry i wrote on my profile too :)

Thanks for the kind words and I'm so glad you made that connection about shipwrecks :) I'll definitely give your profile a read too.
