Poem Title:
Poem
I lock up my Jeep and start down --- The narrow pathway --- ---That meanders down the edge of the cliff --- The view of the Ocean from this trail --- Is priceless This truly is one of my favorite places on Earth --- Every chance I get I try to make it back here --- And think of the time we spent together --- So long ago --- When life was still exciting --- We were young and the world was new --- And this spot was magic --- --- To us --- Barely even a spot to pull off the road --- We had to check it out --- The trail was rather rough --- If it could even be called a trail --- But we both knew in our hearts --- The risk would be worth it --- I’ll never forget how amazed we were --- When we reached the bottom --- Our own private cove --- Cut in half by the jagged rocks --- Connected by a cave --- I’ll never forget the love we shared --- --- That day --- The peace we felt that night --- The moon seemed as large --- As a silver dollar --- Setting on the end of our nose --- The reflection off the Sea --- The warmth of the bon-fire --- The sudden awakening --- To the rising tide --- How we scurried to get out of here --- And barely did --- Not long after that --- The tides of life --- Took you away --- ---Into the valley of death --- And I became so empty inside --- God I loved you so much --- And now here I am again --- With another Bouquet of Roses --- --- That I shall offer to the tide --- I want you to know --- I have found peace --- I have found love --- You and her are so much alike --- You were my first love --- And she is my last --- Sometimes I can see --- ---You --- With-in the confines of her heart --- And I almost feel ashamed --- But she is so much like you --- That to her it is an honor --- I’ll always love you – you know that ---You are my angel in the wind --- But she is forever --- --- The angel in my heart --- As I stop at the top of the Cliff --- I look back --- And watch the roses --- Become --- Engulfed by the tide --- I posted this poem for a second and then pulled it because it is very personal. Reposting for Christie's contest.
