Poems by Rose

The Wave


You came to me like a wave
Washing my worries away
Slowly wandered an ocean wide
And lapped the boulders Bay
On my skin refreshing spray


You dribbled down onto the soft sand
Offering jewels from sapphire sea
That adorned the ground where I stand
And hummed a soft lullaby on key
Beneath the wide open sky so free


You delicately caressed my warm being
Guiding me gently to your powerful core
Entranced and enveloped I followed unseeing
That triumphantly led me straight offshore
I forcefully swam with immense vigor


Deep in your depth I felt you pulsating
With life that transcends space and time
Love in all dimensions communicating
Your complexity and majesty so sublime
Polluting you would be a serious crime


With one assertive push you exhaled
Sending me tumbling back to dry land
Rubbed my raw eyes and then inhaled
As you evaporated out of my hand
In your place glistening rocks on a band
