Drift Away

Rolling
Swiftly rolling
Through the tilted gates of time.

Longing
Boldly longing
For the dream of dreams to come.

Whisper
Softly whisper
The time is now, don't run.

Falling
Deeply falling
The cliffs have dropped away

Sleeping
Peaceful sleeping
Time has stopped, so breathe.

Roll
Long
Whisper
Fall
Sleep and Drift away...

Author's Notes/Comments: 

I wrote this poem in the 8th grade when I was highly depressed. Most of my material that I will be posting for right now comes from that age.

i really like this one too. we all have those moments where we must drift away, if only for a little while.
