Disappointment
Disappointment
Somewhere out there among the sea gulls and marine critters
Is where some of us want to be with little else than peace and love
Not always being sure exactly where long as we’re afloat on a sturdy boat
Like stories that are read in good books- although some never get read
With the barely visible mountains of sight way behind them in the distance
And the clouds of sense hovering above, as they attempt to hide the bright sun
Along with the blue sky, which is some time paler than it seems at other times
The sea roars as the waves of emotion flow and peacefully break on the sands
Of time
We glance further out and wonder what is out there, beyond our view
And sometimes ask ourselves why here and not somewhere out there
Where there is not only peace and freedom but also happiness-some of the
Things that we deserve
Tomorrow always comes and it’s never late like fire relief
But what does it bring other than stress and disappointment?
Perhaps sometimes love and occasionally relief of some kind
But seldom new chapters in life that include changes- It has been said
“There are many fish in the sea”, but I have yet to catch one.
