The Sea Swallows Drawn to be nearer Casting forth the muddle of the mind My heart weeps Into the surf of relentlessness Listening for wisdom To cascade away my shell Exposing the pearl Back and forth the rocking of souls Let me cry Knowing this embrace of tides Pandering of misalignment Until the will comes to center Drawn to these waters The sound of waves replay Release me to nowhere Release me… …Re-lease me When the sea swallows Left empty and willing I stand, excavate the sand And leave my wildflower marker Copyright Kkh 1/22/08 [This message has been edited by ThisDiamond (01-22-2008 07:32 PM).] |

It speaks of confusion, frustration, a desire to reach a middle point.... to find something that eludes... The sea, the waves, the cascading of waters all a part of the mood and desires of the writer or character being portrayed... I'm probably only about half close on this one..... This poem digs very deep into the soul of the writer... |

Kathleen - Love the depth of your poem and can relate especially to these lines "My heart weeps Into the surf of relentlessness Listening for wisdom" I like to believe that if we listen we do hear. Helen |

she gives then sweeps up the very shells her waves brought to her wiating sands she means no harm she is just the sea doing |
