In the cave I awaken My wretched night behind me All my hopes forsaken I listen to the embracing sea Not so quickly, I stand Moving toward the morning light Sun moving rapidly over the sand Not pausing to hear my plight Footprints made so swiftly Waves crashing upon the beach The gull croons loudly Laughing up above my reach Anger consumes from deep within I grab the nearest group of shell Can't stop now; 'tis a sin They could never feel my hell A solitary launch oer the bay The beautiful shells spread Flittering on the ocean spray Making purpose within my head Am I here to be a disturber? Flittering souls this way and that Not pausing to hear the murmer Of those who, on this beach, once sat "No" I say loudly to myself For inside I know the truth This pain I feel I will shelf For eventually people it will soothe And I will gently glide oer the water Watching the one who would take my place Filling her soul with what will matter Seeing nature steal the pain on her face -------------------- Kind of in my little ol world for this one! Anyways, I'm wishing everyone in The Corner Pub a Happy New Year filled with many new gifts and inspirations! Take care everyone! ~~Jamie   "...I mean, when I first met you, you were all like, 'Oh Phooey, I burned the darn muffins.' Now, you walk into a bar, and sailors come runnin' out!" |

Jamie; I had to read this a few times over because there is so much depth and feeling here. The analogy of sea and ocean and seashells is perfection. Beautifully written and wonderfully insightful. Ellie Belief is a truth held in the mind; faith is a fire in the heart. Joseph Fort Newton |

Ellie: Thank you for your understanding--it is an honor that you read it twice! Denise: I'm glad you liked it. That line was my favorite too! Melton: Yep...moving on! You have to for survival! Thanks for your comment!  pegasus: It is an honor to have you just read my words! Thank you! Believe me, you are a high read on my list too!  Suzanne: Thank you...I never thought of my poetry as 'lovely'--more like, 'life's trials'. But, I do appreciate any kinder word you would give it! Thanks Everyone and Happy New Year! ~~Jamie   "...I mean, when I first met you, you were all like, 'Oh Phooey, I burned the darn muffins.' Now, you walk into a bar, and sailors come runnin' out!" |
