His sweet imploring vainly cries out to me.
No, I dare not gaze upon those waters.
I feel the mist and waves beckon me to venture out on tranquil shores.
Yet his cries are fruitless.
If I should drift on seas serene and cross the waters vast,
Surely I would reach those happy shores -
Or would I wander aimlessly and never find my home?
His cries are constant, but soft.
He almost persuades me.
Gently he cries to bid me adrift.
Shall I lift my eyes toward the one to whom he leads?
Does he somehow know you're there?
He almost persuades me.  Almost.

Go for it!  Nothing ventured, nothing gained.

Nice write,
Tracey.

I am happy to see a new poem from you.  It leaves me wondering if the shore is a good place to venture - or is it a case of appearances being deceptive.  You give me something to puzzle over this morning.

I'm intrigued by this write. Some higher call maybe, a vocation ... who knows. Only in deep silence will you perceive total clarity about whatever asks for a decision.

Love,
