Nicholas Windle Poet Couplet

Second Chance

As the never world awaits me, 
The lord darkness, his cloak now draped.
Haunting images that appear in dreams,
Invade the subconscious, till again I wake 

Complative thoughts well before the dawn,
I walk the morning shore,
How many have stood on these same sands,
Reflecting the echoes of those no more.

And still the waves they pound the shore,
Relentless in their quest,
As they crash on the rocks with deafly roar,
White tipped and foaming zest.

Dawn breaks with gilded cotton clouds,
Waiting like courtiers to their king.
Gathering round the sovereign sun,
Bestowing his warmth on everything.

Would that life compare to the shore,
All worries get washed away.
Cares thrown to the four winds,
As on my knees I pray

Frank Black Blacharczyk October 9, 2015 at 8:28 AM Very nice imagery how the winds of nature speak to us

Colin James Platt October 8, 2015 at 9:37 PM This poem is very apt. The dream worlds are the real worlds and this physical world is illusion. People don't seem to realize this. Super poem. Colin
