It's dark

It’s one of those lost nights
I could be missing, fallen overboard
a cork dropped in the dark, floating alone
twisting this way and that
wondering which current to ride home
needing a constellation to mark the sky
wanting some hint, some shimmer of light to catch my attention
yearning for something astonishing and lovely
what wants to aimlessly bob on top of the water?

    Floating itself can be astonishing and lovely.

    Astonishingly lovely?

    Like a warm scented bath, or just laying with arms out and eyes closed in the pool on a summer evening.

    Sorry for rambling - essentially wanted to say I liked this, what your words brought me.

    Here's to your seeing that shimmer.

    Hedonist, you're right of course! There is something lovely about just floating.

    There's a place and time for everything.
