I haven't been bit by the writing bug in a long time, so naturally when it bit me this afternoon as I was preparing to head out for some shopping/Spanish lessons learned the hard way, I decided to entertain the bug...
I walked side-by-side with the ocean
and asked her for a word
a word of wisdom, pearl of truth
I asked for something good
She said to me did you find it
I knew not what she spoke of
She mentioned words of substance
of hope and faith and love
of beauty and of consequence
the things that we know not
I gazed at her, at infinity
and of all of this forgot
what it was that I came here for
until she spoke again
saying Take with you this experience
and keep it 'til your end
For what you've felt and thought and seen
stretches farther than any land
and to that end the tide rolled out
and I began to understand
I guess I've been out of the game for too long, since it's a rhyming poem, and I'm personifying the ocean like Hemingway...that said, it felt REALLY good to get that out and here's hoping there's more to follow. Alright back to your regularly scheduled wasting time online...
Talk to each other.
