the ocean’s full of secrets,
so salty from our tears.
it’s full of bitter, broken dreams
swept off to better years.
and choose to walk away,
the ocean sweeps it out to sea
to make sure it stays safe.
you’ll visit the sea once more.
you’ll have grown and changed in many ways
and won’t be as you were before.
and you don’t feel so blue,
that’s just your old dream that the ocean
is bringing back to you.
I'm dreaming about the ocean too - but mine aren't as beautifully worded as yours!
ReplyDeleteI love this!
ReplyDeleteStop. This is just fantastic. I'm going to keep asking you to publish a book of poetry until you do it.
ReplyDeleteSo one of my goals is to read more poetry and yours is so damn good that if you made it all into a book, I'd buy it and read it all. The. Time.
ReplyDeleteLove Love Love This! You're so talented.
ReplyDeleteJust amazing, friend, as usual! Keep these coming!
ReplyDeleteSeriously girl!!! Every one of your poems you publish here are just amazing and so fitting. So much talent!!!
ReplyDeleteThis is calming to read, like I can feel the waves lapping against the shore. And I love that last line!
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful! I'm such an ocean person, this should totally be up on my wall somewhere!
