Todd Nelson Poems

The Best Poem Of Todd Nelson

Raft Of Life

Floating on the abyss
Searching for somewhere to land
Trying to find internal bliss
Reaching out for mother nature’s hand

The current is leading me astray
My raft has sprung a leak
I don’t want to go this way
For I now have become too weak

I need to find that solid ground
The place to get my strength back
My mind is a merry-go-round
Spinning so fast I am afraid its going to crack

Every place I see is uninhabitable
Tiny islands of failure
Full of the blood-sucking cannibal
Where is the one with the cure

I am bailing water hoping I don’t drown
I see something in the distance
The water is pulling me down
Do I have enough strength for one more chance

Will I be able to reach that island far away
Will I be able to rest
Will it be the place I want to stay
Or will my journey continue on the raft of distress
