A Thought

Missing image

From yesterday

comes a sad thought-

flung like a tempest;

whose soul of pain,

born of raging oceans,

hugs the sand

which receives its tears

in waves of sorrow,

as receding shorelines

mourn the cliffs of time,

and all of nature

bows 'neath the weight

of the burdened sky, crying–

as its soul returns to sea.

    Deep thought indeed. The ocean, sounds, crashing waves are my favorite noises and place where I find peace and joy. Loved the flow here and I pictured myself on the shoreline, hearing these sounds. Thank you for sharing yours.f

    Wow! I love you background and your words
    'whose soul of pain,
    born of raging oceans,
    hugs the sand
    which receives its tears
    in waves of sorrow'
    This is such a beautiful transition from violent emotion to intense but gentle sadness and the flow of the poem suits the prompt and the words perfectly. Great writing, good luck in the competition.
