Lost at Sea

Posted in Poetry, tagged on May 22, 2008 | 10 Comments »

I travel through the night on waves of steel
The pounding of the sea against my side
With tired, trusted hands upon my wheel
It seems I’m only in it for the ride
My name is branded proudly on my skin
I’m built to brave the storm or ride the tide
So many mates have gone and come again

As April showers drench and spread

The tree has known, as well as stone
the strength it takes to bend
For trees are rooted deeply
Precious foliage to nurture and tend.
A chilling breeze through idle leaves
Just blew the tree away
While bestowing warmth on a shaded face
A back draft thaw was taking place.

Gone But Not Forgotten

The universe, adorned with stars and light
Can captivate, we marvel at the glare.

Wishing on them in despair; not completely unaware
That our eyes take pleasure and delight
In stars that are not there.

Though space has claimed the stars of night
It somehow missed the show of light
That glows no matter how we try
To tell ourselves the light’s a [...]
