Then You Came Along



I am swimming through
the vast ocean of life
sometimes my stroke is
strong, sometimes weak


I explore the deepest
depths of it's reflections
or float, resting a time
I feel that I can become
lost in its infinite mystery

sinking, confused from the
intensity and magnitude of
feeling and the beauty that
I receive from all of life

such immense feelings
inside me; so strong they
are painful and I long to
express myself; i feel
that I am going to burst

I grasp onto the sun
for his warmth and comfort
my closest friend is our
mother, earth, and I go
to her to sooth my
burning hurt and confusion

I watch mother earth, as
she also drifts in this
ocean of life, embracing
the sun, as she revolves
around him and his
life-giving force

I never want to lose you!
and it makes me angry
to see you hurt and destroyed
be gentle to her, our friend
the earth mother, our only hope

then, you came along
you nourish me with your love
and with your undivided attention
you give my heart and soul rest


you take my entire being
into your luminated hands
rocking and caressing me
I love you, my beautiful Moon

    HOODWINKED!

    What a lovely reflection of life, the strugles and the moments of serenity all bundled into ones experiences, hopefully there is balance found among the extremes. The moon has such a calming affect on a troubled heart, a balm for the weary, an enchantment for lovers. Thanks for sharing this thoughtful poem. Write on dear poet.

    You have been Hoodwinked by the Poetic Bandits today because WE CARE!

    I love to watch the Moon with all it's beauty and mystery it makes me feel so alive. Your amazing write captures the magic and beauty of the moon and how it affects each one of us in different ways. I agree too that we need to save Mother Earth before it is to late. Thanks for sharing, hugs Theresa

    This is a very touching poem, and yet at the same time it speaks the truth. Earth is very important, if we don't care care of her it may not be around for long. But beautiful imagry and good luck!
