Notes About The Poem

 

Things are hidden behind her eyes

Waves Crashing Inside Her Mind

By herself every quiet day,
She walked to the ocean’s side,
And stood and thought about crashing waves, 
Crashing inside her mind,

How they never stopped, never slowed, 
Crashing into the shore,
How they caressed each sharp jagged rock, 
In a peaceful sort of war,

And she felt how soft sand beneath her feet, 
Drank these waves like wine,
The wine that calmed crashing thoughts each night, 
Crashing inside her mind.

A fine poem indeed. We are quickly transported to her world. We feel her pain , her inner struggle. The disturbing effect of the waves crashing inside her head. Crashing on the seashore, and the soft sand that soothes her soul.
