Adrift in thought

A piece of poetry I decided to write tonight.

Adrift

Adrift in thought
I lie awake tonight
my mind wondering
waiting for first light.

The air-raid sirens blare in my head
the shells thunder on the horizon
I watch the flashes from my bed
as the city sleeps.

I stand in the street
Capital of the Land
I've come to defeat the darkness.
dark cloak, sword in my hand.

My subconcious mind
seeing darkness and fear
running away
from what is near.

My mind adrift
in a lonely sea
of fear and war
scaring the shit out of me.
