PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

As if a sojourner

I laid down roots no longer than I had to

And, shook what stuck loose

Until the hook with chain and anchor

Set sail my trepidation

And, found feet once fleeding

Comfortable with foundations

And, amongst the masses

I found you like a shipwreck beneath an ocean

Seemingly forgotten

And, hid behind your glasses

Peered eyes as if they'd never

Relinquished hope

Of other eyes retrieving their treasure

Just like a revelation

Nothing's found until it's ready

And, I can say now

Without hesitation

I am

Like a heart not yet enamored

Until a mother cradles the flesh her womb has carried

What I believed was love, now is buried

In the beauty of life discovered

Inside a shipwreck's secret hold

And, how the love of another

Unspeakably exceeds any worth found in gold

Just like a revelation

Nothing's found until it's ready

And, I can say now

Without hesitation

I am

Close, and growing closer
