Crusoe 2017

In the midst of all that happens
around me all the time;
I am Crusoe, the shipwrecked sailor.
Stuck on a lonely island
trying to pick up the threads
of those stories that never gets told.
Those unmarked days that crowd
calendars with their blankness
define my existence.
Before me lies the expanse of blues
but nothing is visible there
even as carry on,
with my futile efforts to locate
the ship that will take me away
from this island of loneliness.
