Analysis of A passing ship
I squint my eyes
Trying to narrow down
on how I feel
Is it melancholy?
Happiness
Tinged with sadness
Or it's a hue
Am I just feeling blue?
It's an odd feeling
Yet I am calmly settled as it washes across the shores of my mind
I am fascinated by it's visit
Wondering what it reflects
Or forebodes
