At Thirteen

I stood at harbour
searching with eyes towards west
I was thirteen
The sea was broad in all dimensions to me
It was a huge element, this water
And I longed to escape
I was childish, anyhow....
I learnt of life
longing and despair
One day I should go that west
where wind followed me aside

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
