Beneath the raging waves and foam
lies a darkened world of ice and cold
tidal blasts crash against rocky shores
spraying corrosion high in the air
though all a bluff

Safe on land, two lovers spoon
indifferent to the fury churning
in watery boundaries below
Their love grows and glows
in fireside warmth and comfort
Savoring moments shared
behind the walls that shelter
them from life’s sputtering woes

In the morning sunshine they walk
along the storm cluttered beach
hand in hand smiling forever’s
collecting sea shell souvenirs
to place along the garden path
An island paradise all their own
A haven of refuge they call
home.

Sweet Dulcy,   i would not have a 'home' if not for your goodness;
from the first moment you shared this with me, i thought this was
an epic piece of writing.  Memories are collected in driftup post-storm pieces.
Home is not a house
nor is it something physical.
It resides where feelings take their breaths.

tSR, awwwwwwww...thank you sweetheart! I know we talked about the poem, and I was glad you liked it. You saw the message behind the scenery ~grin~

doreen, What can I say? There is nothing like cuddling with someone you love on a stormy night! ~wink~ Home is where the heart is, that is so true a saying and what inspired the poem, thank you so much!

RSWells, symbols are always more understandable than language and seem to convey the meaning in a way that never fails to be understood by the heart and mind. Thank you so much!
