Standing On Soothing Shores

[Xillus_Xavier]

Standing On Soothing Shores


The rolling tide massages shore
And feet that seeks its soothing hands
My agony sweeps out to sea
Away, amidst receding sands

My hurt, these waves - they've met before
For years I've come to stand and cleanse
But though my woes flow from these toes
The wrinkled soles retain their sins

The salty breeze, it sings to me
A cheerful sun bequeaths relief
For death, divorce, all lifes' remorse
Have found a home within the reef.

And I shall stand and in waves today
As all my thoughts just fade away

Standing On Soothing Shores


The rolling tide massages shore
And feet that seeks its soothing hands
My agony sweeps out to sea
Away, amidst receding sands

My hurt, these waves - they've met before
For years I've come to stand and cleanse
But though my woes flow from these toes
The wrinkled soles retain their sins

The salty breeze, it sings to me
A cheerful sun bequeaths relief
For death, divorce, all lifes' remorse
Have found a home within the reef.

And I shall stand and in waves today
As all my thoughts just fade away

What a marvelous idea you came up with to pen such a beautiful piece of literature. Of course I seek the stuff you rendered in this in poems.

This poem has two things to present: First there is a limitless sea; secondly, the poet is agonized. The two coming together in close proximity sharing something which is so intimately common to both of them.

Here the wonderful aspect of the poem is the tide or the wave that takes away the pain or soothes the anguished.

Of course opposing things are at times positive impacts. Here the rather furious sea is soothing the beholder.

I really am moved by the poem.
