Untitled

As I close my eyes tight,
Silently I am,
Sitting by the ocean,
Untangling thoughts,
Thoughts of,
Aggression,
Depression,
From every angle,
Every direction,
As stones are thrown,
The glass cracks,
But nothing broken,
Embracing each word spoken,
Taking in each token,
Friends,
Family,
Strangers,
Still silently I am drained,
From the expeditions of the process,
The tide rises and falls,
Waves crash and calm,
Still standing strong,
Each thought fine tuned,
Into the melody,
That carries me on,
Self shielding from the rain,
It is silence,
And the ocean,
That relieves all emotion.
Every hour every minute,
Coming fast,
From every state,
Slow burning,
This is reaction,
and the wheels keep turning.

ONCE AGAIN YOUR WORD PLAY IS LEFT UNCHALLENGED AS ALWAYS. VERY DEEP POEM YET AGAIN.

I know I've been out of the loop for a while. I will try to stay caught up. I believe that all things happen for a reason. It wasn't by chance that I read this. I can identify with this poem 100%. Especially right now at this point in my life. Beautifully written and very heartfelt. Thank you.
