Sitting On The Shores Of Life.
Welcome to one and all !!
As many of you know a couple if weeks ago a very dear friend who had actually been my English teacher at school advised me that as well as writing these positive and happy poems I should also write some every now and then on the pain and sadness of life.
This I did a couple of weeks ago and I was amazed at the wonderful comments. One of the best was from a dear friend I have made through HubPages who actually told me that because I had only spoken of positives she now found that she could not connect with me fully. She had felt lacking as she felt pain and I didn't seem to feeling any.
Also I think that unknowingly I had set myself on a pedestal where I was the happy one permanently; what ever sadness and bleakness I felt I worked out at home without sharing with you all on here.
So you can now understand just how much DJs http://djanderson.hubpages.com/ comment meant to me.
I hope you enjoy today's hub.
A ferocious
wave crashes
onto
the shores of life ;
my heart recoils
in clear determination
horizons charred
from unrelenting
punishment.
The lashings
cause wheals silent
and deadly !!!
My heart a pendulum
ebbing and flowing
happy and sad
Misty horizons
how I long for sunshine
for one moment in time.
The spraying stinging salt water
spiteful
hurtful
on each open wound .
My heart a slave
and never a shelter;
gripped in life's
wrath!!
Estuaries of life !!Which one is ours to decide.
Let us retrace
back to the days
of choices .
When the sea was younger !!!
With many estuaries
promising new beginnings !!!
Do I believe ?
Do I trust ?
Do I fight against
life's
intravenous poison ?
Or do I hide away?
That early river once again beckons.
Which estuary for me ??
"Wearily she'll flow along
Into estuaries she'll divide
These are the rivers of life
Which one is ours to decide."
A choice so clear
but is my mind strong?
Will I eternally cower
from
raw emotions?
A continuous journey
of ebbing and flowing
each tide so cruel so grim ?
A path once so blurred
on life's horizon
lifting that grey mist
once merciless in its threats !!
Lifting a heart
cowering in life's
bleak caves ??
Thrown about
will I find shelter from life's wrath
from threats
from salt laced terrors.
A decision I alone can make.
Then daylight breaks
and slithers of sunshine
awakens a heart once numb.
Blue skies gently caress
each soft white cotton wool cloud.
Eyes open in sheer delight
as the sea rests
a blue calm oasis of wonder !!!
Rock pools
wondrously glisten
enticing
each magical wonder to enchant.
Each heart so afraid
absorbs this awakening
heartbeats a clear
sonnet of
True love.
Seagulls cry
fill hearts with wonder
the gentleness
floats on the ebb and flow.
Young children explore
those twinkling rock pools of life.
Days so precious
Moments to treasure
Skipping and jumping
their world so bright
from cold to warm
dull to bright
sad to happy !!!
Cherish.
Cherish
Your world's beauty
Each contrast a lesson
Happiness a sweet treasure trove
To accept, expect and appreciate
A world so desperate for love
Fight for your path through life
A path so true
Cherish
