Tsunami by Anne EngelenDrifting on a silent sea
alone with my thoughts
scared of the waves
catching up with me
Not able to enjoy the silence
nor the calmth of the sea
Just waiting for the waves
creating a storm inside of me
Listen...
Hear that roar
Feel that motion
engulfing me without further notion
Riding my wave is all I can do
anxious to know where it will lead me
Growing slowly
taking over all of me
turning into a real tsunami
Being one with my wave
I feel the destroying power inside
irrepressible
until the final crash 08/22/2002 Posted on 08/22/2002 Copyright © 2024 Anne Engelen

Posted by Michele Schottelkorb on 01/17/04 at 05:45 PM i love the way you parallel depression with water... if we allow the wave to crush us, we are gone... if you ride with it, then you can swim through another day... brilliant form here... blessings... |
