Concede To The Sea


Concede to the Seas
by Mike Pollock


It’s deliberate, these words they slip
Like the tattered sails of a sinking ship
An ocean, emotion, it opens wide
Swallows whole, the notion of my stormy pride

A golden veil of made up lies
Conspires, derives, in hiccupped ties
Desperate to let it take the reigns
Dents and scrapes mask these deeper pains

In subdued hues of green and blue
Foggy edges blur the line between truths
I’ve seen the scene before me once before
In a time of mythos, and brimming with lore

Awake, awake! I hear myself scream
Chords of metal seem to resist the dream
Awake, awake! And my hands are free
A storm is broken, I can finally breath.
