    I was as lonely blue evening ocean tides




    I was as lonely blue evening ocean tides,
    washing and drifting in endless unforgiving sea.

    I waxed stagnate and cold, weathered by water,
    slumbering and falling out of consciousness.

    I waited in golden sunlight that failed to relieve my anguish,
    blistered and exhausted, slipping into fever.

    After the long day I felt the lull of evening shade
    spread her perfect shadow over this forgotten sea.

    Then the gentle night came creeping over me,
    that's when I saw you with your radiant countenance
    soft as moon glow.

    You with your gravitational vibes, pulled me slowly
    into the wayward night away from this isolated sea,
    away from this crowded vacuum atmosphere,
    away from this murderous silence,
    onto your welcoming shores.

    Another gentle lovely as the breeze write. The ocean of life many times seems to have little shore but yet there are times we land. You pulled this from a heart of kindness.

    Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion.

    T. S. Eliot (1888-1965) American-English poet and playwright.
