With Open Heart I am Coming Home

With Open Heart I am Coming Home

Waves take me away
and throw me
into the arms of uncertainty
where the vast ocean of the unknown
swallows and devours.
On timely moments the same waves
bring me back to the shore and feed me,
not of seaweeds and salt,
but of comfort in the shelter of shells.
Again the waves will take me back
into the blues’ vast                                       
but I know I can always come home 
because on the way,
my heart unfolds by the breeze
and I learn in the voyage to trust.

Not “just” yours? This is a brilliant interpretation, Bernie. I couldn’t have done better.
”Will only get us swallowed and devoured up to a point”. Exactelly! 
If you just read it, I would be happy enough, but taking the time to reflect and sharing 
what you think, it’s a real heart warming. Thank you!     B

Riding the tides of life and trusting the elements to keep one safe. I love the idea of seeking comfort and shelter from a seashell. A beautiful piece of poetry x

Hi Marion, I know you’re very much in touch with the elements,
specially the sea, waves, wind, storms. I love metaphors and cannot help
using the elements in nature in my poetry. It’s like I “see” metaphors in 
everything around me. It’s always good receiving your thoughts. Take care Marion.
