Carl Fraser Poet Rhyme

The Wait

From across this frozen wasteland
I spot a solitary amber light on shore
I wonder if they are looking at me
Or wondering what im out here for

But i think that they might be busy
Grabbing gifts from neath the tree
And having second helpings of stuffing
To be thinking at all of me

It makes me ponder my life's choices
That have lead me to this night
Frozen in this metal hull
With not a soul in sight

I sit and take the midnight watch
So the ship is safe and sound
But i keep staring at the amber light
Wishing i had both feet on the ground

The sunrise breaks on purple horizon
The amber light fades in mornings mist
The dark clouds slowly roll away
To recieve blue skies morning kiss

An icebreaker on the horizon
Is slowly making way
And all on board are cheering
Though we all missed christmas day

Skat A December 26, 2013 at 12:58 AM Carl, I feel you. This Christmas, I had to stay put at home. The temperature outside right has now 34 degrees. Cold air and newborns don't mix. Thanks 4 the visit. Love ~SKAT~

Poet Destroyer A December 25, 2013 at 10:46 PM Carl, I want you to know even when one is not able to set both feet on the ground. He/she truly are missed. Especially on special days like this one. How we stay in touch makes every moment count. I did like the way you wrote the deep beauty reminding you of the things you might be missing. Remember, everyday should be a day of giving and peace. I'm celebrating Christmas with you, by heart... Merry Christmas... xox~ LINDA Carl Fraser December 25, 2013 at 10:53 PM Thank you so much Linda, your kindness towards me is very gratifying especially now. i did send you an email , dont know if you got it, but i said some things and i hope i didnt say too much, luv Carl

Poet Destroyer A December 25, 2013 at 10:39 PM Hello, Carl this is beautiful from the amber light to the icebreaker on the horizon... A wonderful poem. Deep like the sea you ride on. Sad to see you missed Christmas. I know this is not gonna make your day better. I want you to know I slept in all morning, and went late to my brothers X-mass party.. LOL, ate and dashed out of there in less than 30 minutes. When my kids ask MOM, what are we gonna do now.. I said "NOTHING --NOTHING AT ALL." hehe... It was nice, staying behind. :)
