Let me be beside the sea

The wishy-washy plunging tide

The blue and green and gray and salt

That sings to me the roar

And brings

The crashing wave into my soul

And falls upon and takes away

And draws me with the tide

Janice, since reading some of your thoughts in articles, which I discovered on joining Faithwriters last year, I have followed your work with interest.

May I say that I find this poem to be so evocative, and truly poetic. Is it a breakaway from your usual style/s?

I had one tiny difficulty with 'still' in the first line, to being taken by the tide in the last. Perhaps the latter refered to soul, not body. Perhaps you could look at that? Maybe, its just me.

It seems important in a short poem to make crystal clear what is intended.

And, it is soooo beautiful. Its exciting to see such a poem ... "born" ... really coming from the creative part of the brain, I think.

Every encouragement, to continue to search this part of yourself. I would be very happy, if I had written this work.
