Fogerty Creek

standing here at waters edge
           it beckons........
                                 enter
feeling the power of each wave
           hit my body
peeling away each layer
           of my soul
                         my very being!

(how) magnificent and (frightening) this power
                         to consume
                              to take me
from that place filed with pain and sorrow.

i drift..........................
                                 to another shore
a star in the distance guides me
       perhaps,
                  my sweet baby girl calls to me.

the roar.................so LOUD
          thoughts fade into the nothingness
                (my life has become)
                        VOID of passion!

dreams once held me afloat as i weathered the storms
           now they (release me)
                  to my sadness
the (Phantom) no longer waits..................
                                  freedom from pain is at hand
     sorrow no longer mine,
                                     has moved on
perhaps to him....... where no forgiveness was shown!

my battle ends and his begins.

                    a treasure lost at sea!

                                    Shadow

Very, very good! You should do one about your accident there. That too would be powerful.

Hum what a great idea...I will have to think about that. Unfortunately I do not have your talent for writing. Words just flow from you!
