STANDING AT THE SHORE

STANDING AT THE SHORE

A Poem by michael
"

Reflections of the turmoils of life and hopes of the future

"

So I stand on the shores of my life, looking out at a not-so-vastness,

I cannot see but recollect the oceans' waves in distance behind me.

There are some tempest, raging gails, there are some calming seas,

And before me distance seems so short that I could surely tread,

For the waves have calmed to ripples, sometimes gently rocking ,

But I must beware of the calming effect, lest I sleep an endless drift.

My longings now seem to swirl behind, mid the splashing of the waves;

Tho' quite unsure, my sight now lies on other distant shores.

And maybe now, somehow, I can breath with an air of believing,

As I am soothed by the sound of waves clapping behind me,

And at the same time eager to begin my journey of a lifetime ...

This was beautifully done! I love the imagery!

As I am soothed by the sound of waves clapping behind me,
And at the same time eagar to begin my journey of a lifetime......

Those two lines stood out for me(Breath-Taking Poem)
