Castaway

Jettisoned, thrown overboard
Abandoned, cast aside
Excess baggage drifting with the tide
Flotsam jetsam float aimlessly
No bearings, no design
Disorientated, lost, all at sea
Washed up remains, shattered debris
Beached aground, left high and dry
Shingle a bed, a mantle the sky
Lain waste wreckage in disarray
Cut off from the outside world
Forevermore, forsaken, castaway

Such despair on your words, my friend. Wonderful depth and sense of loss. Tender, almost. D 🙂

Beautiful Ann. Beautiful but also sad.
