To Face the World

To Face the World

A Poem by Grace Lea
"

...just a dream...

"

i stand alone

 

on an island

on a cliff by the sea

saltwater drops fly up and

startle my cheeks

the waves pound and

rock the ground

beneath me

my long dress

flows and billows

in the breeze like a cloud

the wind pushes my hair

in front of me and I

dont pull it back

i let it twirl and twist

curling and covering

my eyes

i bow my head and

let a tear fall

i look up and see

the sun

coming through

the rain

and i smile, though

 

I still stand alone

I agree with Daniel this piece is finished. I was feeling my heart pump wondering if you were going to jump. This piece although simplistic captures that feeling in me. You have a way of getting your point across without romancing the english language to death. I am guilty of that at times. Thank you for asking me to read your material.
