Morning Sun slowly enters
under feathers I still lay
replaying last nights dreams
and all they had to say

I am swimming, body weightless
in a beautiful sea of green
so warm as it surrounds me
Heart and Soul could finally breathe

Rays of light did enter
shining on only what mattered
the beauty that surrounds me
I knew here, would not be shattered

I could feel the warmth upon my skin
senses awaking, "I am alive"
I finally found the "Sea of Love"
Found the meaning of my life

A current swiftly passed
sent a shiver down my skin
My body felt so cold
god, I can hardly swim

Darkness then surrounded
Body numbed and all alone
I rose above in search of shore
the time came, I had to go

I sit upon this shore alone
every breath hurts my lungs
As the green of his eyes fades away
along with the glow of his love

I will sit on this shore forever
loving you from within
For this is where you end
and where I must now begin.........

Jenn,
this is excellent...
this is your most well written and expressed piece.
powerful, impactous, emotions..
enhanced by well defined imagery...
and those last 2 lines are perfection of poetry.
I have often asked my self...
why our finest poetry so often comes to us when we are hurting the most.
thank you for the wonderful replies left on my work.
take care and keep woking thru it all in your writing

JennE* It's so nice to have you back!! Your
poetry has always touched my heart and
brought me to a place in myself that I often
look to for poetry...This contains such
beauty and such pain...as you write I hope
you find the healing that the poetry
contains. You'll always find that there is
someone here that understands.  Excellent
