Drifting out to sea waves gently rocking me singing to me their lullabye beneath a dazzling starry sky salt in my wounds- begin to heal unlearning the past begining to feel opening my heart learning to trust the moon shining encouragement- saying I must off in the distance a wave reaches shore burying in the ocean depths sins mine no more floating on soft waves of serenity the day begins to dawn recreating me a light breeze caresses my skin I feel the tingling of life again overhead a sea gull crys as me and the past say long over due goodbyes "A poet is one who spends a lifetime standing out in thunderstorms, waiting to be hit by lightning" ~Randal Jarrell~ |

Oh, I think you cleansed my soul with this one also, how beautiful you went through the cleansing and no greater place to for it to come from then the great ocean that man can't touch and destroy as easily as fertile land. I love this one it will dance in my soul for for months to come. |

Starr, This is beautiful and very inspiring. Gave me a real good feeling while reading it. The imagery is excellent. Sheila ...the earth and myself are of one mind. The measure of the land and the measure of our bodies are the same........... Joseph, Nez Perce Chief |

Starr this is really awesome. "salt in my wounds-begin to heal unlearning the past beginning to feel." The wounds of our past must be allowed to heal so that me may once again feel and trust. Really, really like this one. ...Give me the strength to walk the soft earth, a relative to all that is.... Black Eagle Oglala Sioux holy man |

Wow, Starrgazer, I think this is definitely my favourite poem that I've read here. You sound like you've made quite a personal journey and I congratulate you. I can certainly relate to this, especially the second stanza. Great, great poem, and if you don't mind I think I'll print this one to add to my personal collection.  "Be yourself... No matter what they say" - Sting |

Wow StarrGazer, This is really good. The imagery is very clever. The sea cleansing the soul and healing the spirit. Rich If my heart had wings, I would fly to you And lie beside you as you dream I'd jump all these mountains and take to the skies sail through the heavens with stars in my eyes. Faith Hill |
