Alone With My Thoughts

A mist hangs over the ocean,
hiding warmth of the sun
I’m filled with so much emotion,
so empty and undone

Hearing the silence around me,
I sit on weathered log
My heart is not totally free,
it drifts like morning fog

With hot tears running down my face,
I reach arms across time
I’m wanting so much to erase,
pain of my thoughtless crime

When walking the empty shoreline,
left alone with my thoughts
There is so much I can’t define,
of inner battles fought

Sometimes I wish I had a thought recorder and I think "WHAT ARE YOU THINKING?" (Lots of arguing going on in there.) So I am never alone with my thoughts, there's always the other voices in there!

Enjoyed, Karen!

Karen, this is very, very beautiful. It inspired me to write an answer, I shall post in a new thread, "A Jewel in my heart". Thanks for sharing a little part of your beautiful soul.

Karen..

Brightest Star,  one of beauty rare.
Guiding Star,  Pain of heart to bear.
Loving Star,  One who shines bright.
Brilliant Star,  Living in the light.

You are that Star..our star..may your
day become filled with the brightness
of your heart...

Your eyes filled with love and joy..

beautiful poem Karen..

Truly beautiful, Karen... seems to me one of the problems with those inner thoughts is that it's always self-castigation that we perfect... that part's easy.  It's the opposite that I only seem to remember when I'm with someone I love...

Karen,

    I know this place so well.  It's so hard to find your way out.  

Hugs,
