Mrs. Bennett

A new Territory

I dipped my toe in the water

a cold shiver momentarily possessed my body

and jolted me awake to the early morning’s scenery

the gentled tide lightly slapped the shore

a cloudy sky covered the blueness it had formerly been

only letting the dark sapphire empyrean peek out to say hello

before it shyly retreated into it’s sea of darkness

I pushed the boat in the water

and hopped into the vessel

its freshly primed bottom a virgin to the water’s coldness

I shoved my foot off the dock one last time

to help propel my journey forward

the morning breeze chilled me to the bone

as the day was still young and could almost be mistaken as night

this same gust of wind mangled my already unbrushed hair more than I need to be

and puffed the sail off to my new beginning

I started to wander off into the horizon

alone and unaware of how to steer the ship

letting the water take me wherever it pleased

naive of the storm that was coming up ahead

already starting to brew in the clouds

the trip dragged on for hours

these were good hours ones I used to clear

my mind of reality

and what really awaited for me when I got

home...
