Song of a New Tide


As I walk out toward the sea
I feel such peace surround me
As my lonely soul flies free

I think of us now and then,
A long lost past, back when
Our love was not “has been”

He doesn’t love me anymore
It ended with a roar
Along this rocky shore

And no where could I hide
From the pain I felt inside
But now God walks at my side

Yes, sadly our love has died
And there were many days I cried
I was no longer to be his bride

Until God offered a new tide

    This almost reads lyrically. This was a wonderful penning girl. I did not realize until I just peeked at the authors notes write above my comment box that...your intention was to indeed do this Well, success then. A sadness courses through this as well a sense of hope. I truly enjoyed this and it was as always a pleasure to read your talented work ~Tia

      THANK YOU!

      Tia ~ You're so sweet to hand out all this praise of my work!! I'm not sure it's really all that... This poem was a very difficult one to write, or at least to make it work, as it is rather akward here with only three line stanzas, as someone else pointed out. I may have to go back for a re-write... Thanks just the same, I'm glad you enjoyed it!!! Take care Peace ~ Cyn

    Reading this made me sad. I am sorry such an awful thing has taken place but your pen gives you a voice. Can speak of what you might not have been able to say. Releasing some of your pain which is clearly evident in this very descriptive piece. There was a lot here but I wanted more. I know greedy..lol. Was strong but in some way was lacking. I dont know if it is the 3 line stanzas or ? Either way I felt you in every word and that is what it is all about. Hold strong my friend and remember you are never alone. You have friends. Hugs, Dawn

      Thank you, Dawn!

      As always, your kind comments (or any other kind of comments) are very welcome. The poem may indeed be lacking, as you said - I'll take another look. It's not really about me, but I have a way of tapping into broken relationships for some unknown reason. Food for thought, I suppose... Thanks again, and take care!!

    It is very good but three lines lose the flow if it is a song,might be a good idea to try a four line rhyme then it seems to sing lyrically i.e.
    Yes, sadly our love has died,
    And there were many days I cried,
    No longer to be your bride,
    Until God offered a new tide.

    Just an example, sometimes also in a song, it is easier to match rhyme to lines 1 & 3 or 2 & 4, rather than each line.

    Having said that, I like the thoughts in it and think you could have a sad love song in the making Love, C

      You're a genius!

      Thank you C ~ I think I'll try that out here, if you don't mind. You've made a great point. Then if you would please take another look, I'd be honored!!!
