Sandcastle's Spent ~*Marge Tindal*~  Breaking, breaking against the shore The waves seem to proclaim that they have sensed the anger Slamming the shore again and again Sandcastles quake to ruins in muddied mass of half-baked sand Swirling in the anger frothed from the ocean's hand When the anger is spent I glance to see once more little ripples of laughter rushing along the shore On Sandpiper legs running in split-second motion chasing the anger right back to the ocean The waves have spent the anger churning them into moats of me Gentle rivulets of laughing current rushing back to the sea So roll on mighty waves thrash until your anger is spent I'll follow the rippling current discovering just a hint of laughter left in the wake of anger when it's gone And then, quietly I will build my sandcastles again~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |

When the anger is spent I glance to see once more little ripples of laughter rushing along the shore On Sandpiper legs running in split-second motion chasing the anger right back to the ocean I love the entire poem... but especially these lines. *S* I've never thought of laughter wearing sandpiper legs... but now that image will be with me every time it chases the anger from my life. *G* This is beautiful, Marge, on so many levels... and appreciated on all. *S* |

Yes! What a wonderful depiction of life's struggles. I love it! Fool, said my Muse to me, look in thy heart and write. |
