PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

There’s a great stillness, such a sense of peace, 

Lights twinkling, water rushing without a sound,

An irresistible sense of release

That urged me to turn my back on solid ground.

How intoxicating to sink like a stone -

As the tide took me I’d never felt so free -

But I swear on my life I wasn’t alone...

As you see, the fates had other plans for me.

The current somehow pushed me back to shore 

When all I wanted was the water, welcoming and warm. 

I kept jumping back in, longing for more,

But invisible hands came to shelter me from the storm.

Call it angels, luck, whatever you desire,

But I know what I found in that place.

I share this with you in hopes it may inspire

For I’m certain I was touched by grace.

I encountered the tides in their season of giving

But I’m needed here in the land of the living.
