A New Window By the Sea...
|
A New Window By the Sea... Years ago, I wrote the poem below "Windows By The Sea." I have always been drawn back to these words as being important in my life. They seemed to help "ground" me in a way that oddly, I never totally understood. Now I do. Underneath the original poem are some new thoughts. I hope you enjoy. The picture you see here really is my window by the sea. And yes, it's really me. Windows By The Sea It's quiet up here tonight. I guess everyone is down on the beach doing whatever it is lover's do on beaches. I can hear the waves breaking over the sand, and I remember the times I walked on strange, foreign beaches wondering if anyone knew I was there. The waves of the Med are different from the Atlantic. They tenderly touch the sand with soft caresses. She seems to understand the need a man has, as she soothes him with peacefulness. I've been many places and I've seen more than most. I've learned something from those journeys... a man is only a reflection in someone else's mind. He exists only when he's known by others. It doesn't matter how far you've been or how long you were gone; when someone enters your world, even for a moment, all the time and miles were worth it. I can still hear the oceans soft voice, and at times I long for her touch; but not just now. For right now, I'm happy sitting above her in my darkened room, waiting for the sun, ... and you, to wake up and hold me in gentle arms. (copyright under unlistedone's real name) Windows By the Sea... (Part two) It's been years in the coming. I wasn't even aware of this particular journey. It cleverly hid itself among the daily chores we all must do... the mundane, everyday dreams... and the thoughts of tomorrow. But it was there all along. A journey within the journey, so to speak. A journey, I believe that has now come full course. I knew, and didn't know how fast it had slipped by. One day of easy smiles would have left me content... only to be followed by a storm forming on the horizon. But those things are normal. Those things are the things each of us see, and feel... and must live through in each of our lives. I just wonder why it is I couldn't really see it... or at least, understand it. It took a photograph taken from my window... my window by the sea, for me to realize that everything I have done before has truly brought me to where I am right now. So I'll stand here, only a mile or two from my old friend the sea; looking at the wild oaks and the sky... at my bedroom window... and wait for you to wake... and join me in my new journey by the window by the sea. © copyright 2008 by unlistedone  |

Isnt it haunting to write something that as weeks or months or even years go by and those words are read once more, they seem to hold a portent of the shadows that will pass, the ghost of a chain of events, and even your own life's darkest valleys. Its like the Muse has her own agenda when she inspires. But it feels comfortable reading it and feeling a tingling of recognition and sudden epiphanies. A faint song heard down a hallway and when you finally reach the doorway and open it, its playing notes and melodies that you already knew in your heart. Occasionally we have to come to grips with our own precognition, however grand or minute it maybe. A darkened room austere and bare whose window looks out to the gnarly shrubs of life to the images of lovers hand in hand to the sound of your heart to the birth waters of life and her song drummed in time to the crashing waves I have missed you, I am glad your path led you back to us. tender hugs....m.
