Like The Waves From The Shore by Marge Tindal
I must now ebb
The time has come
to sail my oceans
Rolling away from you
like the waves from the shore
rippling out to the vastness of the sea
that beckons my ship of folly
I'll not ask you
to stand the night vigil
on the shoreline
of memory
You are here
on the beaches of my memory
even though I drift the tides
If you should look
into a starlit night
and see a reflection of me
know only that
I will one day
come crashing again
to the shore
swept homeward
by the pull
of the tide
and
you
The time has come
to sail my oceans
Rolling away from you
like the waves from the shore
rippling out to the vastness of the sea
that beckons my ship of folly
I'll not ask you
to stand the night vigil
on the shoreline
of memory
You are here
on the beaches of my memory
even though I drift the tides
If you should look
into a starlit night
and see a reflection of me
know only that
I will one day
come crashing again
to the shore
swept homeward
by the pull
of the tide
and
you

We are often drawn to adventure that takes us away from those who love us. The ocean of emotion sometimes sets us adrift. The returning tides bring us back into the heart of another who keeps the vigil.
The venture satisfied, we eagerly anticipate returning to open arms.

Very moving, right up to the very last word. Great use of metaphor and just the right amount of emotional tugging that makes one revisit the poem time after time. I also liked Whispering Wind and I realize you have great poetic skill.I shall recommend your work to my writing group and with your permission, I may wnat to use this poem-and perhaps a few others-in a small antholgy I am producing in the summer. Keep writing Marge, your words come from the soul. - Paul |
