Home Beside the Sea

A poem about keeping hope...

I want to see the world around me.

I want to understand.

I want to feel what I’ve never felt,

-with my own two hands.

 

I want to carry the stones,

-that have been thrown at me.

I want to use them as the foundation,

-of my home beside the sea.

 

I want to cry,

-without knowing why.

I want to fall,

-so I can stand.

 

I want to be stuck inside the storm,

-to break this cover that I’ve worn.

I want the troubles and the heartache,

-the pain and the sorrow.

Because only then can I make,

-the life I want tomorrow.

 

I need them to be stronger,

-so I can be strong for you.

So when the storms are upon her,

-I’ll know what I should do.

 

I’ll take her to the home,

-I built beside the sea.

Because I’ve always known,

-I’d have you there with me.

 

So I’ll suffer the storm alone,

-I’ll fight and I’ll survive.

Because I know when I find her,

-I’ll finally be alive.

Thats definitely a stanza that affected me the most, like we should take the insults and cruelness that's been thrown at us and use them to find ourselves and be stronger....great work :)

Absolutely beautiful, my friend. Very inspiring, and, as always, beautifully written. I'm really enjoying all of your new work, keep it coming. x

Building foundations and good strong ones are the quintessential strength of the structure. Without the base there can be no pyramid. This is true of everything that needs strength including relationships. To have experienced the bad before we can embrace the good gives us a structure and tools to work with to be creative ,knowledgeable and protective. You sound grounded . Knowing what you want in life and what you are also willing to give. :)

All to the most important goal in life. To love and be loved. What's the world without that?
