I was standing on the shore
a mighty wave came with a big roar
i was far away
the wave rushed forward in the play
gently did it tickle me
i felt the cool waters with glee
a moment passed
the water receeded into the vast
how empty did i feel
without the water, was my life real?
forward did i move
longing for the waters soothe
the wave returned stronger yet
sweetly making me all wet
alas the wave pulled away
my whole soul craved for it to stay
further forward i moved on
my desire gettig strong
i saw in awe the wave so tall
standing over me and all
crushing down onto me
leaving me small in humility
the water pludged my every pore
opened and cured my every sore
i knew nought anymore
not of the sand, sun and shore
in the waters i dissolved
thus my being was evolved
now in the wave i ride
calling seekers to my side

Very nice poem!
I like the way it pushed words into new meanings, like “play” and “soothe”.
Water, water, everywhere and many drops to drink, eh?

Axinia, thanx for sharing it.
This is a beautiful poem! Time and tide wait for no (wo)man! 🙂
I love this poem, as much as I love the ocean.
It reminds me of a small poem from the book, The Wanderer.
” The sea, the sea, the see
it rolled and rolled and called to me
come in, it said, come in.”
