Life as an Ocean

Go down

Life as an Ocean Empty Life as an Ocean

Post  mikeschultz Wed Feb 08 2012, 14:33

A poet’s heart may be a summer mill pond
Or as a North Atlantic raging winter storm,
One moment calm and still and the next gone.

Tossed about and pulled down, a deiform
Soul of humble means whose heart is calm
Or as a North Atlantic raging winter storm,

Whose life has swung around the maelstrom
That tests us heart, mind, body and soul.
Soul of humble means whose heart is calm

What do you see? How do the waves roll,
Their majestic tops capped in frothy white,
That tests you, heart, mind, body and soul?

Watching from the craggy bluff, a sight
Very few others have ever seen to enjoy,
Their majestic tops capped in frothy white,

Great waves line dance as we shout, “Ahoy!”
A poet’s heart may be a summer mill pond,
Very few others have ever seen to enjoy,
One moment calm and still and the next gone.
