I watch the tide rise and fall. It never seems to rise as high as it used to. So many pebbles, clustered together, so blurred, I don't even notice each grain. I walk along the shore, sifting through the sand, holding each pebble in my hand; so tiny, yet so powerful. Each beautiful stone pricks me with its vivid reminder of distant yesterdays. But, oh, how they feel so close, so familiar. I never want to leave this beach, the warmth of the early sunrise. But sunset will come...someday. The wind whistles so loudly, its constant cry, its honesty ringing in my ears. I fear the day when it shall no longer speak to me, for then I will know the true pain of which it warns. The morning sun still shines brightly now. I know not why I fear the cold night when the waves will crash harshly against the unsuspecting sea wall. As I gaze upon this wonderous landscape and sink my toes deep into the comforting sand, I realize how I took this beautiful scene for granted and how I long to count each pebble once again. Every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end... [This message has been edited by Ladybug (06-18-2003 10:46 AM).] |

Thanks, Kada and DreamChild! Kada, you are right, it is about a "place" I wish I could go back to, but not a physical place...it is actually about how time is passing too quickly and I wish I could stay young. I'm 26, but I feel like my life is passing by so fast, so I am looking back, wishing I could relive my youth and thinking about how I took some of it for granted (like we all do). Thanks again for your words!  Every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end... |

I'm wondering... Do you always write in free verse? Smiles, and yes, there is a point to my question depending on your answer. Regards, always Lisa |

Hi Always Lisa! No, I don't always write in free-verse, but I would say it usually happens. Most of my poems (at least in the past) have been about my life experiences, so when I write, I just poured the feelings out and it flowed easier in free-verse. It all depends on my mood and/or the topic, I guess...I've written many "rhyming" poems and also haiku. It isn't really intentional; usually a poem will start coming to me as I'm driving home from work, or drifting off to sleep, and I just go wherever it takes me.  |
