Alone Far in the ocean, a single rock lay. No trees, no land, nothing to see. Only the dark blue waters, and the black gloomy sky. Lonely and sad on this rock I stand Blank is my mind, just trying to understand. The roaring winds stirring up a storm. All alone, as I watch it form. The more frightened I get. The waters begin to turn evil, Crashing waves upon my rock. The longer I stand, the weaker I get. I'm becoming cold and drenching wet. Each gusting wind, knocking me down. I know not what to do? I have nowhere to turn to. The storms getting worse, I pray this is no curse. I don't know how much longer I can stand, Stand on my rock and not understand. I'm lost and lonely, not wanting to be without you. Whatever will I do? Do I stand on my rock until the storm ends, Or do I jump in, and pray for all of my sins. By: Nichole |

Hi nonsence, Water can be very deceptive, Soothing and yet a killer.Very nice poem, remember you are standing on a rock (symbolic of your wisdom)and that wisdom will help pull you through. Cerenity-1 |

Well, I have a different Rock that I stand on in times of trouble or uncertainty. That ROCK is Jesus! Very intense poem... <*\\\>< There's only two ways you can go... One way you can save your riches, And the other will save your soul. Rich Mullins |
