Sea of Emotions

By: Herlinda M. Giles

Lost for so long in a deep sea of feeling
Can't get control of the thoughts, that keep reeling

Direction- unknown; where's it all heading
Utter confusion and panic are spreading

Waves start to swell and the boat begins leaking
and, yet, still no sign of the land she is seeking

Horror takes over with no hope in sight
what started as worry, turns into shear fright

Pictures of lives past flash into her vision
with little time left, she makes her decision

She whispered a prayer.. then dove off the side
and started to swim, along with the tide

Hours past by with no sight of firm ground
She fought for her life, with hopes she'd be found

Several years later, her story's still told
A heart full of love that had sadly, turned cold

When the waves crash to shore, you may still hear her cries
for the body may perish... but the soul never dies
