Sailing Waves

Sailing Waves

A Poem by Poetic Beauty

Drifting on the tides
Out to sea...
Braving the storm
Out at sea...
Sailing into infinity
Upon the sea...

Waves swirling, crashing
Over the sides...
Salty water rushing
Over the rails...
Twisting and turning
Upon the deck...

Thunder calling, sounding
Booming on...
Echoing through time
Booming on...
Resonating into the ether
Booming on...

Lightning biting, flashing
Crashing the night...
Streaming skyward light
Crashing the night...
Illuminating infinity
Crashing the night...

Time dragging on
Waves endless...
Ticking,tocking on
Waves move...
Slowly creeping
Onward waves go...

Destination unknown
Travel on...
No land in sight
Travel on...
Dawn is breaking
Travel on...

The structure of your poem made me think of waves, you created perfect imagery. Life is just like sailing with the waves, sometimes we are lost and the land is not in sight; sometimes the waves are just too big for our ship but no matter what, we have to keep on sailing to find our way again.

There is an innate part of us that wants to merge with nature. And natures perils seem a journey so irresistible. This is very well brought out in this great poetry.

Your word play and sentence structure perfectly mimic the waves of the ocean. I imagine looking out, an endless horizon, at the first hint of light, only to have my hopes dashed. But this is the test of faith, is it not? Lovely piece

Life is an endless journey with no destination in sight.
"Destination unknown
Travel on...
No land in sight
Travel on...
Dawn is breaking
Travel on..." - My favourite lines!

The poem brilliantly creates a sense of urgency as well as beauty contained within this violent sea-storm. Loved it.

I am so glad you enjoyed the turbulence in this piece.
Sailing is such a microcosm of life. Just when the
sea becomes intolerable we break through the storm
and life (sailing) becomes smooth and peaceful
You have done an excellent writing, bringing us the
emotions in the storm and the joy of home.
Thank you ,,

You have completely gotten the message in this piece
The imagery was superb. It almost made me dizzy. There was such a feeling
of being helpless as I was thrown about by this storm. It was violent in the
unrelenting way it strikes the reader again and again. I felt that it was imperative
to complete this journey even if I didnt survive. I had to reach it. I just had to.
What is "it"? I have no idea...but I was compelled to get there. That emotion kept
me invested in seeing this poem through until the end.

I liked the description. You took the reader with you into unknown and wild waters. I like the ending. Good to aim at destination unknown. Allow the heart and mind to hold on to hope and dreams. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.

Time with no destination. Best place to be in life. I had a few months in my life where I knew this .. read more
waves swirl like those in life....we go around in circles, the world is round, our world is round, and maybe we are on this treadmill not really going anywhere, just taking up space and time...
but we keep moving on nonetheless...maybe with that faint hope we will find something new, something worthwhile...
i really like your repetition of lines in this...they reinforce the theme.
