The Ocean Sings My Peace

 

Sounds of the ocean’s movement

Become the acoustic guitar

In my head

While I build a castle

Upon the shoreline

Just so time can

Wash it away

Like tears falling on wet ink.

Smudged lyrics are as useful

As a seagull eating from my hand.

Listening to the only

Seashell upon this shore

Brings only thoughts

Of a lonely wind blowing

A tumbleweed through

A ghost town I’ve never been.

Each footprint I leave

In the sand

Is a memory distorted

By dreams of strangers.

Retreating to the water

Is a baptism for me

As I breathe in the pain,

Exhale my fears

And a wait nightfall

So the moon can sing my requiem

In the form of a wave

That brings me closer to nature.

It is really cool to read a writer over time and whitness their style and poetry change and grow molding into art and creation. As I read your work I see so much growth in your work, your pen is so sensual now and so refined and your work is very polished to the point of being artistic and beautiful. Yes I loved this poem it is inspirational. Great write.

Artistically and poetically woven into a shining painting of ink - alas it shows a suicidal scene expertly painted by a wonderful master of the pen.
A beautiful poem rich in perfect imagery and words.

Beautiful words that bring music and nature together so very well. Melancholy words that wash over the reader and tells of a tormented soul. Very well written.
