Unreachable Reach

Unreachable Reach The days go by And you go on, A lonely migrant on your shore… The air is clear, The water, calm, What is it you are searching for? The sun is bright, The sea gulls sing, Their sweet music eludes your ears. For deep within You hear your tune, A symphony of dread and tears. We know not why Your heart is sad When such joy all around you sings. You say you long To make your way To chase those dreams with golden wings. But you should know, Dreams come and go Above your barren, narrow beach, Where the sun is bright Where the sea gull sings— Although no sight of golden wings— True dreams are just within your reach. © Sandra M.

Thank you so much, Broken, for your nice comment and support. Actually, you can use any poetry form for a Didactic. It is the tone that makes it that form, such as giving a "directive" to lead life a certain way either spiritually, emotionally, etc. Thanks again for stopping by, friend! Hugs, Sandra
