Waters of the ocean in restless ebb and flow
depict an emotive roll relentless in its quest
to reach contented shores and merge finally
with a stabilizing force.  

There is form in empty space, call it God if you will,
sending out and bringing in waves of sensitivity
and I pay the piper dearly now to play a better tune
once maturity is reached from resuscitated innocence.  

I breathe yet still believe in the validity of feel
and the silent truth of an intuitive response
but in the sky lightening, call it God if you will,
flashes in the air and refuses to ignite
the fire of serenity in this mysterious sea.    

Like a roller coaster speeding round a track
emotion in a being travels continuously
till finally, indubitably, death is the result  
and a flesh bound mummy walks out of the sea.    

Serenity, serenity; no one can feel serene
when emotion lies at the bottom of the sea!

There is form in empty space, call it God if you will,


Powerful lines here.

To remain serene deeply within, despite our fragility, there lies the true power ... I believe.

Love, Margherita
