Emergence

Emergence

A Poem by Aaron M. Anderson
"

Out of the storm

"
Tempted to sleep through the downpour
of salt water under parched pink clouds
of lithium powder and sunset blues,
I arose.

No longer hiding from the angry storms,
I stretch out naked on the shore, exposed
to the rain and sun amidst baptisms of 
salt and sand.

Cleansed of sin as I anoint my own brow,
before the infinite White waves, changing 
with the rise and fall of so much hot air,
I stand.

The sun emerges from behind the tempest
like a shipwrecked man on a strange shore
without solid ground, building on pebbles.

I feel free

Wonderfully done. The words used and the flow created a vivid imagery and gave great emotion to the piece. I felt peaceful as I read this, as if, I to where there in the sand, free of all woes and worries. Just the pureness of the nature around me.

Again, great job.

I stretch out naked on the shore exposed, cleansed of sin I stand. I was tempted to sleep through the downpour of saltwater under parched pink clouds but now I no longer hide, I am free. Wonderful write!
