At Sea

For Helena's Ten Words

I know I'm on the path

but not my destination

Your spirit leads me

to my salvation

I know you're watching

it keeps me sane

Your reflection in

my windowpane

But I'm no seeker

they find only trouble

So when I draw this circle

it becomes our bubble

No they won't find us

in any reading

I've made an arrangement

to stop the bleeding

So I talked to the ocean

and it promised me

We could ride on its waves

'til we no longer be

And this is my faith

the love that we bring

will keep us safe

when we sail out this spring

'I know I'm on the path
but not my destination
Your spirit leads me
to my salvation'

I just knew I was going to enjoy this lovely poem for the "Ten Contest", right from the first stanza.

It flowed beautifully.....the 10 words weaved throughout with invisible threads. Well done poet!

Thank you...

Thank you Helena! :) It was a very good challenge to find the story behind the words, these contests are a good way to improve.
