The Shores of Alone

0 posted 2001-06-26 10:42 AM


Wrap me in cerulean waves
and wash me back to shore
or if you please, cast me adrift
as has been done before.

Dreams ridden roughly out to sea
seem true unreachable
still azure waters comfort me
my spirit savable.

Resign unto the higher strength
the ocean knows me best
what's meant to be will surely come
the answer to my quest.


Epilogue

(Titanic lifeboat up ahead
will she attain before hearts' dead?)

Contemplative and thought-provoking.  Speaking of quests...  (my next post:  "THE NEW WORLD OF YOUR HEART".  Check it out...)

love the cadence and imagery in this sandra...and the bittersweet longing.
love the added couplet at the end...
we have to hold on to the hope and dream that
our "Jack" will be in that lifeboat.
well done poetess CM

I'm going crazy, I'm losing sleep.
I'm in too far, I'm in way too deep over you.
You'll always be the one.
You were the first, you'll be the last.

This is really quite a fine piece.  I do especially like  the first stanza.  The flow is wonderful, befitting the theme, I think Such a peaceful decision for one t make, to allow Him to take one where s/he is to go to be and do their given quest.

Ah, my friend, the waves will always welcome you back, and my hand will ever be out if you care to come ashore...We ebb and flow with the tides and like them ride the waves thought they be emotional ones....


Beautiful write...

Thank you, all who read and take time to write. I appreciate it so much. Sometimes you are like my lifeline, keeping me from being pulled under.
Love to all
