The rolling whiteness crashing. On me, dragging me out, taking me away from this. getting stronger and stronger. i cannot fight it, so i do not. i let it have its ways upon me. i let it beat me down. i let it take me away. i care no longer to stay with hate drilling at me. it brings me under. takes my breath from my soul. deeper and darker i turn, from within, reaching out i burn. i am home now. with all the shells. all the clams and crabs and oysters. i'll learn in time enough, before the seas again get rough, how to build a shell, just as they have done. A barrier from cold and crazy waters. only in time. then, and only, will you be mine.
Reason for writing:
i wrote this while sitting on the beach, watching the waves come and go.
i submitted it because i want people to read my poetry and
maybe get some constructive criticism out of it. thank you.
