A passing ship

Lekuchula Saningo Bryan 1993 (Maralal)

Free verse
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

About this poem

I wrote this poem in my room while trying to keenly observe my mental processes and state at the time
