she waited so long...

She brought you to the shores
Asked you to get into the waters…and
Waited so long…
She brought you near the storm
And left you amidst
And she waited long and long
And long.
It’s life…oh dear,
She made you fly
Made you soar high and high
And loosed the grip, slowly
And,
She waited so long…
Sometimes she allowed you
To pave your way in your own
Way
Gave you time and all that you wanted
And again,
She waited so long.
She waited and waited for times so long
For always
Just to see…how you took her!

Love sometimes means letting go; if it works properly, the person will return. Love also means helping people grow and encouraging them to be their best. It's a wonderful thing, love...

VERY DEEP....I LIKE YOUR STYLE X

"take her easy..... and if she's easy, take her twice" I like the personification - we do it with life all the time, but your way was more hopeful than just saying Life's a B***h. :o)

Viewing life as a person....a woman...what an interesting metaphor. I interpret this as explaining how life issues challenges to us:

"She brought you to the shores
Asked you to get into the waters�and
Waited so long�
She brought you near the storm
And left you amidst"

and sometimes rewards us:

"She made you fly
Made you soar high and high"

but teaches us lessons as well:

"Sometimes she allowed you
To pave your way in your own
Way"

I enjoyed this :-)

This is a very DEEP piece and emotionally very much sound.
So, I literally loved it..The endless wait and the followed shattered hope...
Beautifully written :)

I agree with the othe reviewer that the imagery started off strong, but I am unclear of what the main focus is... sometimes it is like a poem about appreciating ones mother, but I could be way off. That is the beauty and frustration about poetry. Some of the worlds best poems and poets confuse the hell out of me :)

imagery in the beginning is good. not too sure what i was suppose to see in this piece but i still liked it very much. the only thing wrong i saw in this was this part:

To pave your way in your own
Way

you used 'way' twice in the same sentence. i just thought if you changed 'your way' to 'your path' it would sound better.

anyways, this was a good read. good job
