Ecstatic, electrifying, exhilaration ignites inside, Inspiring my soul to capture the hope, Songs echoing on the coast where there is light, Silent light tossing, trembling, tempting my thoughts, Into the night where pieces of my heart reflect the music Playing in the waves, blending with the sea in stardust dreams, Awakening the need for the hurling of my past, Away from these tears – images of fears, lost years When my heart couldn’t escape the ache, shadows break, Feeding my dreams doubt and confusion I could never escape, Echoing in the moments just before dusk, moments alive With hasty alibis, burning away the sunset – a moon so alive, Bright as the night who beckons, healing, protecting – While stars glisten like fireflies in the dark sky, dazzling with songs, Ballads from seas who remember me through the splashing, Never ending sprays, spattering the dreams, Tasting of saltlike peace – serenity persuading me to believe, Just believe in the sea’s tranquility, nestled beneath the waves, Bringing so much relief, releasing me – teasing me, Suggesting grace has its place in my prayers, my faith, forever, Tasting like praise, floating in the seafoam truths, Testing me for the spirit who colors me in hues so beautiful, Azure and cobalt soothing, gentling my unsteady nerves – Filling my sand castle thoughts with a sense of what it means To believe in His embrace, melting away every doubt Silencing the fears and relieving all my tears, shielding me From the loosely secreted memories, the oceanic winds Who caress the waves with prayers who abide inside those who… Know the sea, the eventual peace, the waves concede… To just believe, believe in the sweetness of grace that completes. Forever, I believe… as the sea startles me with its endless screams, Its reflection dampens the dread and restores my thinking – As the waves tremble, tantalizing – I am grateful to feel the water’s swells. Forever, I believe … forever, I am thrilled to be gazing at the reef, sea’s migrating!

I absolutely loved your poem, Gina...powerful imagery and use of vocabulary and structure. Reading it felt almost like a surreal stream of consciousness. The dreamlike state with shadowy fears grabbed my attention as did the subtle but positive image. Well done...am faving, Sara
