A poem
rises in the depths of my mind
like an ocean wave emerging
from calm waters, unannounced.
I let is swell,
burst the boundaries of self,
and touch the shores
of what I wish to become.

I love the idea of your poetry being the expression of your dreams for yourself. Your metaphor is attainable and beautifully phrased. Well done.

This is well done, a heartfelt moment of realization, affirming belief in a path for life, and a poem rising is an analogy for an idea, perhaps our lives evolving towards something we desire... lovely poetry here wonderful depth...PK
