Broken Sail

Broken Sail

A Poem by Mark
"

Damaged souls finding one another. Story of my life.

"
Tell me I'm too good
for your broken spirit.
Ask me if I care.
The late autumn wind urges me on.
It's song of unwinding telling me
I am close to being done.
I want to take it to the world,
to set out sails unfurled,
leave on the beach all that doesn't matter.
but you; my broken child of grace.
Beautiful, mind and soul
find the tears and mend them all.
while I sail through calm and storm
searching for someone whole and warm.
Reflections of connections
severed and given broken form.
Let the ocean heal those wounds
sail on and run through that storm.
I'll mend what is broken in me.
show me where it hurts in you.
Let me bandage what I can see,
and make us both sail true.

Thank you lee, I think the more I give, the more I get back though :)
To find a kindred spirit that you can connect with in such an endearing, protective way, is a beautiful thing. The sea has a magical power to bring calm within a storm.

I am thinking this is the one you have spoke of...Isn't it amazing how the sea can bring us to such similar thoughts yet so different in its approach? " Let the ocean heal those wounds
sail on and run through that storm." Old wive's tales use to say, "The salt from the ocean can heal all wounds" Perhaps there is much truth in that.

A beautiful poem of love and care. In a life. The people we loved and made strong again are the good memories of a life. I like the story and description in the poem. The ending lines were amazing. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.

Hi Mark, A heartfelt and gentle piece full of love. We are all damaged I think theses days (especially us 'fragile' and emotional poet types!) so to find someone undamaged is rare and we should be prepared to heal one another.
