Wandering For Hope

Sailing deeper into the void of whispers
deep blue stops reflecting the light
a gust leaves it unbalanced
a hint of a flicker of colour passes
reaching down, yearning for something
falling
wandering for a sign only to be returned with a silent sinkage
opening guarded eyes to see time
encased in complete unknown
soaking its wintry warmth
melding in its fabricated swirl
feeling the cold stare of stars pierce through
the hypocrisy as they never guide to a path
once a fear but a dream left
now among that of which was below
do I now share the regret of hope?
