"The Sunrise above the Ocean"
Sunrise...
The vibrant colors
dance atop the water,
seductively challenging me to survive
Days roll by like the waves on the ocean
constantly changing, evolving
Yet all I can do is sit on the shoreline
afraid to get my toes wet, fearing I'll drown
As numb to this world
as the day I was born,
I cower from the dizziness and confusion
Questions without
answers, overpowering emotions
spinning uncontrollably through my mind like a tornado
My only happiness is
the beauty
of the sun's colorful dance
The promise of
another day
another chance
Sometimes the waves
seem so tranquil
for just a moment
And I'll get the
strength to fight my fear
to see what treasures are hidden within this vast ocean
But every time I get
close to the water's edge
the tide rises~ pushing me away again
Will I ever learn to
swim
or will the force of the tide keep me alone on this beach forever
Another question to
contemplate
to keep me lost inside myself...
Sunset has come again
another day has passed
Maybe tomorrow
the sunrise above the ocean will bring calmer waters
And peace to my mind
