Poem of the Month – July 2019 – Small

Posted byChristine BoltonPosted inBlog, Poem of the Month, QuestioningTags:, , ,

Small

How small and insignificant I feel
As the waves lap the shore
In my mind I escape to a place where
My thoughts have never gone before
 
Would this mighty sea swallow me?
In one fierce and furious gush
Or kiss my feet with a gentleness 
That I may hear the earth’s hush
 
Its energy coursing through my veins
Safe from harm, yet almost possessed
Losing myself in its tactual sensation
My spirit willingly repressed
 
Realizing I could be taken by the ocean
and become a slave to its force
I quickly return to the calmness
Lost in the tranquility of the source

		I have been writing poetry since I was a child and it has helped in the good times and bad times. I am always looking within to find the answers to life's problems and to write thought-provoking poetry and prose.
Thanks for checking it out.

    I love the rhythm, the sounds, the sometimes sea-spray of waves. For me, the ocean offers pure serenity. A wonderful post.
    
One quick favor, Christine. Might you add a Tag or link to dVerse so others can find our site as well?

    You are small, regardless, but how you turn depends on you.  You can be swept away — or rest in tranquility.  Beautiful, Christine!

    Love the interplay between the longing to let go to nature and the need to be anchored too… Very soulful write, Christine

    Nothing like sitting seaside for contemplation.  On the one hand the ocean can soothe, on the other it can terrify!

      Yes exactly Beverly!  the sea is very mysterious too. I always think something under the water is going to bite me 😀
