The Shores of Alone

0 posted 2001-09-23 10:32 AM

I walk through tears of salt and sand
Upon shores of alone I stand
to gather from her majesty
the oceans' strength, so close to me.

A dove circles over my head
reminds me what a wise man said
Listen, my friend, to what you hear
the answer thusly becomes clear.

A seashell made of silvered gold
the memories of home unfold
shores of alone must ever be
a place of naught but harmony.

Her tides and my life, high and low
In awe I stand to see her flow,
while still alone, I'll never be
deserted by my love, the sea.

Very beautifully introspective. The ocean has that effect on many

Well expressed! - I love the end~

*gasp* This is breath-taking Sandra....and tenderly written....

This is so beautiful Sandra. "The tears of salt and sand". Just so beautiful and touching

If she who dies with the most toys wins, then can I have some toy boys please?

Calming, constant...the sea. It is a walk I should take again. I love the feel of this poem, thanks.

So beautiful Sandra. The sea and its mystery. I imagine you as one with it here.
A very calling verse and poetically flowing with cleansing waves.

Sincerely,
