Escape

Along the ocean I walk Picking up stones along the way Each one representing a soul Who is no longer here today Seeing how the memories fade A tear comes to my eye Soon I will be like a rock With no one to mourn or cry As the sun sinks into the sea I continue down the waters bend Darkness takes over the sky An I hear the voices in my head Telling me they could lead Me to a better place – I shall go Alone at peace I could be No one would know There I went – the place of happiness The answer to end my fears No longer did I walk along No more were the tears For in the water the voices said Is where I wanted to be The strong currants over my head Brought me to the place Where I could finally be free

Jeanine - Once many years ago I was visiting a friend in Big Sur and there was an artist who had a small shop - he had a painting he called faces in the waves - It was an scene where waves were breaking over some rock formations and every step you took from center either way showed new faces as the old faces disappeared - This poem reminded me so much of that day - One of the greatest losses in my life was that painting - God Bless youi
