Lynn Marie Poet Free verse

A New Beginning

with each crest of a wave
forming white crystal peaks
she weeps, inhales, let's go.

beneath a star studded vista
a resplendent guiding light
arms open, palms up, she is free.

the soothing sea winds
carrying away her grief and sorrow
hands posed in devotion, she smiles.

in a seascape of serenity
her baptism place of choice
she steps forward, her new beginning.

James Inman August 21, 2019 at 7:44 AM I've always really liked this one. It leaves a bit of mystery, but the message of the release of the past and starting over is clear. It does leave me wondering why you have this need. I hope it has worked well for you.

D.W. Rodgers April 6, 2017 at 1:15 PM Lovely sparse writing, but with just enough ambiguity. Baptism or suicide?
