Goin' Home

I'm a long way from home

Staring out into a sea

Light shines from beneath

A shape only I see

Beckoned here often

To feel time pass me by

I pine and watch it shine

Until morning is nigh

I know it will deceive me

Upon this distant stone

Tide's arms will stretch high

I'm goin', goin' home

Would you do us all the honors of posting this into the contest Love located in Poetic Infusion Society? Please... If you have not entered anything, that is.

Alex,

I thoroughly enjoyed this poem, Goin' Home, to me it is like a calling from above.

He beckons me from the beyond and I heed his call, to my good fortune, I am His child. That is genuinely a compliment.

A beautiful work that creates peaceful images in my head, a lullaby - if you will. Above all this has been my Zen moment for this evening... thank you for bringing peace to my soul for these moments.

I will be back,

InnerSpirit

If you have not entered this in any contest from Poetic Infusion Society, I believe Enlightenment would be the perfect contest for this poem.

Wow, this is a really sweet one, and different too. Reminds me of Robert Browning. Keep writing! :)

My Dear Writing Friend,
On or the best poems I have read in some time. It painted a very clear word picture so intense that I could smell the salt water. A most excellent job, you are gifted.

Blessings, Laughing-Bear
