Nancy Smith Poet Free verse

The Fisherman

I am but one element amongst the elements
Among the stones, I am a stone
And when upon the hush of night
There is a shimmering star above the moon light

Shore to shore beneath the deepest of seas
The sand in the soul wavers endlessly
And all the realms of nature do spread
The seasons of life, the elements of all man

I see the flickering, the fisherman's light
Amongst the elements, soon a good night
Upon his door fragments fragile will fall
How much longer Lord until you call

When you are 25 miles offshore, you can see Venus, Mars and even the Milky Way. Indeed, it makes you feel part of the universal consciousness and closer to God. Love, Carolyn
