While I was at the beach during May 1999, I saw something that I had always hoped to see... the full moon shining over the ocean. I was not prepared for what a beautiful sight that was. These poems are the result.
Hope, hope for the future.
Contentment, no more inner struggle,
the voices at rest.
I'm sitting on the edge of forever
I wish I could describe
the beauty in front of me
in poetic words, but they escape me.
Underneath moonlight, wonderfully content
has the ocean ever looked so
Beautiful?
Exhilarating, calming,
Hope.
Stars above, sand below,
moonlit ocean stretching to infinity.
Maybe the wind blowing my hopes
and dreams to reality.
I wish I could pray sometimes,
or perhaps someone to pray to;
to thank for such a wonderous sight.
There are not many things
that can calm my soul like this.
Thank you spirits, goddess, guardians
Whoever you are. I wish to give
an offering, but I can think of nothing
else than my awe.
Standing on the edge of forever,
now I see
all I've done wrong, all
I've done right and all the
good that lays before me.
I feel like I could go on forever....
