Chris Green Poet Rhyme

Awaiting Her Love

Awaiting her love

Alone on the sand, lost in drifting confessions,
waves play a sad melody
Seeking the answers so long she’s forsaken,
tossing her heart to the sea

Searching for dreams on a long lost horizon,
withering off to the west
Wondering why, now her lone recollection,
sadness her challenging quest

Out on the ocean where white caps are forming,
drowning the curve of her smile
Here she will sit hours patiently waiting,
embracing her sorrow awhile

Awaiting her love o’er the waters so endless,
everyday tides sent to yearn
Longing her man sailing off past the sunrise,
praying for his safe return

Gershon Wolf November 3, 2018 at 8:56 PM Picture perfect! I could have sworn that I wasn't reading a poem, but looking at an expansive canvass. That last stanza is a classic, and the whole poem is just so expressive. I am awaiting a #1 finish in the contest. Best always, Gershon Chris Green November 5, 2018 at 10:39 AM Thanks so much my friend. I appreciate your visit and kind words.
