Sapphire oceans

Oceans are formed drop by drop.

Sapphire oceans

 

Do not wipe off your facial dew;

Your roots hold on tightly to the ground.

So, You will know the day is new,

When the sun again comes around.

 

These teary droplets make the world

And overflow into deep sapphire oceans.

Maybe crying is all you can afford,

But drought is gone by a rain of emotions.

 

Many drifting rivers have waterfalls,

So walk steady and keep your head high.

As the stream of time flows, you must face it all,

Then bid farewell and join the sky.

Reviews

[Patches I'm not so new..]

intreguing yet not really an enegma This to me as clear and lucid as a mountain stream

[Arthur Crow]

This was really dreamy and the imagery was amazing… All mixed well into the mood and emotion of the piece, made it a captivating read. What’s also good is the depth and thought provoking lines. Lovely rhyme and flow like a silky ocean of wonder!

[Su' Nacnetaf]

The last lines started a debate in my mind, I will read this over and over again until I come to the meaning of your words. Excellent writing.

Again... Wow! Very interesting imagery and use of rhyming!

[Undying Glory]

awesome poem, methinks. it's just amazing

[Cristal Bridges]

This is extremely beautiful and lush! It calls up images of beauty but also darkness. I like this a lot!

[Donald Meikle]

Sorta like going with the flow and taking time to enjoy the ride

[TadKent]

Gorgeous. Fantastic imagery.

[Ross Saunders]

Very nice, a lot of excellent imagery here. My only complaint would be that it feels a little too short and could stand to expanded and explored a bit more.

This is a wonderful poem BB. Short and sweet. I think that the imagery of the oceans as sapphire (tears) is a nice analogy.

One critique. Poetry is about truths and you have hit on some here. However one line is not true and that detracts (just a little bit) from the total quality of the verse. That line is At the end of every river there is a waterfall. Many rivers do not have waterfalls at all, they just empty in to the ocean.

Fix that line to express a universal truth and you've got it with this one.
