The Sea by *WingsOfTears:iconWingsOfTears:

Categories Literature > Poetry > General Poetry > Open


                                       The Sea

                       The waves crash on the shore
                        As I ride the wave of life
                          I paddle through my day
                         Some days with such ease
                     While others like being in a rip
                              Pulling me down
                         Unable to control my path
                      Not knowing which way I will go
                           Or if I have a choice
                      I try to stand and take a ride
                              But I only fall
                       Unable to hold onto my board
                      Not having anything to cling to
                 Watching as the rip pulls me further down
                        Not being able to get back
                         I try to swim against it
                     Fighting for my life as I know it
                 But it’s too much I feel myself drowning
                                   ****
                     Then from the surf a hand appears
                                And its you
                          You’re here to save me
                           You lift me to safety
                            To share your ride
                       You pull me from my nightmare
                You save me from drowning in my own sorrow
                         You ride the wave with me
                       Bringing me back to the shore
                     Allowing me to again be grounded
                   Now when the waves crash on the shore
                          I ride my wave of life
                            With you by my side
                            Keeping me a float

I wrote this trying to explain to a friend how he had helped me out of a deep sadness I had been in ... I guess everything I write is me trying to express how I am feeling or how someone e makes me feel.

Thankyou ... I feel scared everytime I post something ... I just hope that everyone can see that when I write its from my heart and not just me putting words down.

I loved the metaphor. It's really good and I've never read one like that. Life, like tides, ebbs and flows :)
Really nice piece :)

Reflexivos. Profundos como los mares que encharcan cuan inmensa sea la nostalgia de un ayer perdido, que en temporada de flores añejas, se abre en un letárgico suspiro... Nostalgia, flor de otoño...

I love your poetry and for the reason it comes from you heart...that's where the best work comes from
not from the mind but from the heart

Don't see what you have not done, but all that you have. If you are reading this, then you have done something for me and you will never know how much that means.
