Inside of me

In commotion thrown on waves
birthed of a tropical depression
far distant off this shore
of present life where prayers
on behalf of seamen lost
are only wishes held to the winds
carrying me to a faithless hope
in the religion of self

we all have to find hope and faith within ourselves..sometimes its hard but we have to in order to be strong..and have the strength to carry on..

You make a wonderful impression with your writing. Most enjoyed.

Robert? you've got a remarkable talent for saying so much in a few lines...a sort of minimalist approach that give the reader room to ponder...I enjoy your work much!!!

Sunshine, I am glad you found a favorite line. In a short poem I think it is important to put as much as one can in few words.

I am not a wordy poet. I get bored too easily with myself I guess.

Victoria, I like the quote you have as a sig file. I think finally a poem must be abandoned.

PS: I have the search for hope.

JohnR I am glad you enjoy reading...I will keep trying.

Serenity, as always you say such nice things.

Wynter....keep the faith Baby!!!!
