Safeguarding- Open Sea Contest

Safeguarding In the blink of an eye My world crumbled. Catastrophe struck my life Leaving me numb. My soulmate, my childhood mate, Whose shoulder I had oft wept on, Who had remained steadfastly loyal, Just vanished out of my life. My soul mate loved sailing, Always saying, 'The wind, my drifter, Safer world it always leads me to', Was defeated in his super adventure on the seas. My soulmate, true to his name, Was hard as a rock, forever true, Eye or heart, what was purer, I know not, No bone, no flesh, no tatter was traced. I awakened once again from my reverie, To realise nothing lasts forever, We did not meet by chance, It was pre-destined. My soulmate, I shall wait till eternity Till we meet again, Or please patiently wait till I join you, To safeguard the pearly gates of heaven. ( Two guards for pearly gates is better company and eases the boredom of scanty traffic! ) September 26, 2015 Contest: Open Sea Sponsor: Chase Trevi
