These Waves

your ocean waters begin to rise It's waves make a foaming fuss all your hopes and dreams left home just as you thought things were bad enough collecting experience has shown you have always, you've always been alone castle walls sure to take a pounding defenses up, should you care dearly losing faith, post-haste take the time you've got from here to there after all these years I'm still amazed you'll not go under but rise above these waves though we're not built for happy sailing from Baltimore to this shore obligations to engage or take a knotted rope, struggle no more current's none too friendly stowaways we'll not be broken but rise to ride these waves coast to coast most beautiful and strange we'll not go under but rise to ride these waves these waves

"after all these years I'm still amazed you'll not go under but rise above these waves" I am amazed by the poem - its structure and content both.. yes! Ride those waves! I'm a wave rider, though at times I can go under... I am either overwhelmed, or slightly enjoy it. Awesome one! Always, Laura

Thanks. The music to this is far from finished. There'll be a little more text when sung, the poem, written version can do without the more. The one I'm working on is always my favourite.
