Atlantic Standing at the oceans edge I'm braced against the tide. Letting loose of memories once held so deep inside. I hear the echo calling me just like a long lost friend. From times of joy and sadness that's carried in the wind. Like thunder is the mighty sound of waves against the beach. Finding dreams I've yet to dream washed up within my reach. No shadows here can find me the sun is shining bright. Peace comes to remind me who it is I am tonight. With troubles oh so far away it's just me and the sea. I'm setting sail I will not fail it's just the sea and me. Tomorrow I'll be back again feet firmly on the shore. But what Atlantic washed away won't find me anymore. Edwin C Hofert This poem from beginning to end was written while standing in the Atlantic ocean. Aug 10th My birthday.
