Forever In Your Heart

Life,
an ocean...
Waves...
Tossing,turning,
open space,

Wind...
Salty is its taste,
Bitter is my friend,

Storms...
Raging all around me,
Rain is falling,

Night...
Darkness comes,
Fear invades,

There is light,
Through clouds of confusion,

Anchor...
The master of the sea,

Life...
Then I breathe,

Hope...
New horizons,
Uncharted journeys,

Peace...
Fear has escaped,
calmness is beauty,

Love...
The great pearl,
One of sacrifice,

Life...
The ocean of endless possibilities.

Romantic Heart, this was BRILLIANT!!! Did I say that loud enough? WOW The way the flow of the poem matches the words really brings to mind the turmoil and calm that is both love and the sea. I really really like this, but I bet you had guessed that by now  

Best wishes,
Eric.
