As I Watch the Waves Crash

I feel so small and so insignificant Waves so tall like white wall magnificent Smelling new blue rain coming fast Feeling pink pain in my bones so bad Memories of the two of us At the beach so new in love As I watch the waves dart and dash I should have known we would not last Reveries of present seagull day Ride the stream across the wave New love is on the way, sweet like wedding cake I believe in true love today. I watch waves crash as life twist and turns We pour ashes from a solid gold urn Loving life and dealing with death’s burn Waves teach us faith and why we must learn.

The waves crash, but instead of burning too, they inspire! Wonder and Awe, Gershon

a powerful poem, Ms. Karen. I appreciate the imagery you created and intertwined with the waves theme. Perfect. You're right...waves teach us faith...and if that's the case I should have a whole lot of faith! :-) smiles, Sara
