The Vastness of the Sea

Linking with Poetry Jam for "the sea" prompt.
 

 For whatever we lose (like a you or a me),
It’s always our self we find in the sea.
~e.e. cummings




 If standing before the vastness of the sea
you cannot find from within yourself
just one grain of hope rising up
as you look at the ocean holding up the sky
like a banner for all to see
revealing that there is somthing greater
and more powerful holding everything
together...
...if in just that one moment you cannot
find just one grain of hope then
like a lost grain of sand...
...you may never find it at all....

  2. Absolutely. No matter what worries or stress I had, all I had to do was step onto the shore for it all to fall away.

  10. I really related to this. The sea is so vast and eternal, I have always found some comfort there. As a little aside, I enjoy the wonderful quotes you pepper you posts with - so thoughtfully selected and worthy of much contemplation.
