I’m sitting by the ocean… Still looking for my best friend At the heart of some miracle Lives the work of a asylum Is it prudent to be afraid? Will my story fit into someone’s usual timeline? Will our talents ever be combined? Can I peel away the layers of red flags so? Surrealism become a family business mode I’ve only known mysterious jewel thieves Yet, God’s nature reaches the swelling tones of things An unending beauty fostering me, with or without I miss Shakespeare though and his abysmal depths of alcoholism Now that I’m older my ears…are opening I’m not nearly as intoxicated But what if I’m wrong…whose there to comfort me? Will we couple the heights of New York? I haven’t had those thoughts for years But…for some odd reason… The magician has always been there The old man with loving affection, Understanding without me asking There is a companionship alive in my being Where no uncertainty lives Have I grown to self imposed, with an odd mix of shyness? The flutes still reform their sweet warming notes Off in the distance What forces of nature are indifferent to man’s difficulty? Or are they? So, I sit by the ocean….skipping with some dreams Building sand castles which no one else sees Except the old man and there is never a need to defend my castle |

This poem does have elements of sadness in it..but the most important thing it shows the reader is the enquiring mind of the poet..just look at the question marks....this is the very essence of what a poet is and should be...alwyas asking questions in order to attempt to understand the subtle nature of humans....Lee J is simply stunning at asking herself these questions..and trying to get an answer...we see spelled out in front of us the mind of a person that will not stop or hold back from searching the dark and mysterious realm of the brain....thank you for your mind and your words Lee J....
