The flow of this poem was blocked for a while but it did eventually emerge.
Waters Edge - 06 and 09 Apr 10
Standing at the waters edge
Feeling the little touches
On my toes
As I look out to see
The horizon
And ask myself, what is beyond?
Can it be the promises offered
Will be fulfilled...
Or be stillborn
Weaving the threads
Taken from the setting sun,
Into a new dream
Colour filled, colourful
Waiting for the moon
To fade into view
To show herself
As guide
As protectress
And the weaver
Of our lives
Show me the dreams
Dust off the old dreams
Shine up the ones
That haven't tarnished too much
And bring out the new
Still wrapped in their
Cotton wadding
Weave them in with
The promises
Keep them dry
But the occasional tear
Will not cause the colour
To run
The promises offered
May be fulfilled
Some may die
But...
Watching as they grow
With hope
On the waters edge
Feet washed by the waves
The horizon doesn't seem
So far...
This poem has now been completed despite the little hitch of being accidentally shown as a work-in-progress, suddenly I found the threads in my hand and it was but a small task to weave them into the new cloth.

fear sometimes holds us back
ReplyDeleteleaves us wondering
remembering the past
excitement and joy
asks us to throw ourselves
into it
and live come what may
our souls know
in the vibrations felt
that all will be fine
if we listen within
and follow our hearts request
the water holds wonders
the water supports life
but just like life it ebbs and flows
and you never know
but if we hold ourselves back
and stay forever on the shores
saying... hmmm the water is cold
it's hard to actually get in
run down the beach
into the waves
screaming with glee all the way
Just lovely ~ @DolphinDancer @LunaJune
ReplyDeleteI want to have my feet washed with the waves and scream with glee down the beach ;)
Thank you both ...
the beach of life
ReplyDeleteis there for us all
to laugh, play and grow
collect the wonders and sparkles
that we find along the way
to flow with the waves at the shores edge
to dance with the sea
to see the wonder
and fill our cups with love
love of life
for that is all we truly have to share
Thank you June and thank you Carrie for your lovely comments, they mean a lot to me and your being here means a lot to me.
