To The Sea
Waiting out the summer storm
Wind whipping the trees
Down pour of rain pelts the truck
Bounces, tumbles free
Short lived episode of rain
Freed water races down
Searches for lowest places
Onward journey bound
To the sea, to the sea, see
Its travels complete
A never ending cycle
Flowing to rhythm's beat
The heart's rhythm pulses right
Going day and night
A precarious rhythm
A change gives life flight

ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous write my friend. You have surely given one of your best works here with this one. I really enjoyed reading this amazing poem this morning. Great work.
ReplyDeleteSara,
ReplyDeleteGreat poem. I especially like the homonym sea/see combination in stanza3 line 1. Did you mean to do that, or it just happened that way? Either way, it adds to the poem's quality...
Your friend,
David Fox
