The eye in the sky looked down on me,
The oceans moon watching all I do,
Countless powers and darkness witness my daily realities,
Knowing my heart at least is true.

The mighty albatross my messenger this eve,
Reminding me of what I must do,
She shares her wisdom and grace with me,
And steers my soul far from you.

The ocean is my heart,
Vast, deep and free,
I am at one with it's beauty,
Tis where I'm meant to be.

My lighthouse watches all too,
Lighting and showing me the way,
To let my soul go where it needs,
It must find happiness this day.

So once again I leave my body,
Journey far and wide,
Sharing love and beauty,
No longer need I hide.

You can control some things it's true,
But you can't control the heart and soul of me,
I will wither and die all too soon,
If I am prevented from being me.

I will journey,
I will love,
I will learn,
I will listen,
I will share happiness,
I will share wisdom.
I WILL NOT concede to a loveless oblivion.


 At the touch of love everyone becomes a poet. (Plato)

This was beautiful Isis. No, you do not have to accept a loveless oblivion. Noone does, nor should. It is nice to hear this stronger, fighting voice in your poems. I hope you keep strong and keep fighting for your happiness.

Do indeed keep fighting for your happiness, Isis.  I liked the flavor of this one. Someday I really need to see the ocean...

I never do this but this piece is to good to pass up.  I must say to, and please do not take this the wrong way----I want to sharpen this up a little with my thoughts.  Once again do not take this the wrong way.........
But If you want to listen to my thoughts upon it please let me know!!!!! Bojopy

Something we have in common here Isis...although I'm afraid I couldn't have worded it so beautifully. Very nice Isis and may your search be fruitful and above all, adventurous.

Isis I just reread the poem like ten times and I think I was wrong before about wanting to sharpen it up.  This poem has a deep feeling to it and it should not be changed in any way!!!!! I am sorry for even saying such a thing!

Bojopy a good poet is always open to criticism and opinion, otherwise how can we hope to better ourselves.  Just for interest sake what concerned you??

Beautiful Isis. . .

I loved the feeling that I was flying across the ocean to be with the one that I love. . .

You can do it. . .it can be more than just a dream. . .

I have a problem with this myself so I have been training myself to not do this.  Anyway the tenses in this change not really in a bad way but I think with changing them to being all the same it may come out even better then you may have thought.  I also have a problem with first person and third person in my grammer.  Anyway if you ever read my stuff please give me such responses as this I would greatly appreciate.< !signature-->
