Upon a Shore

Affixed, illuminated, persistent, I stand in awe
Of the waves which challenge this timid form to make itself known;
To rise above the mindless din, to sound a roar
So bold in its' constitution that none may deem it folly

Simple it seems for infinity to challenge an indefinite being
When its' absolution looms indomitably, incapable of breaking or faltering;
Futile seem the efforts of an Ocean who sees not the scars
Of a vagrant heart, nor the series of failures resignedly endured by its' owner.

Here I approach unwritten history, perplexed, mindful
Of the task which conception placed at the discretion of this life's vessel;
The torment of past mistakes encompasses my apprehension
As indigo waves compel stationary feet and soul to move

It's neither slow nor difficult. It's brilliant. Great write. I really enjoyed reading it.

its ok, but its to slow, not a very good flow to it

Very interesting poem. It's difficult for me to understand what it's about, but the words were stirring none the less.
