On the last Wednesday of each month, I’ll share a poem I’ve written. Some of them are sad, some of them are happy. Either way, I hope you enjoy this little piece of my heart.
P.S. I know it’s been awhile since I last posted. I’ve been busy with birthday shenanigans and my mom came to visit me and we took an impromptu spring break staycation. But I’m back and I missed you all.
THE SHORE - a poem by Mia Sutton
The waves crash relentlessly on me
Day in and day out
This constant motion and noise
Destructive and yet beautiful
The tide goes out
Uncovering my shells and jagged secrets
Exposed for all the world to see
Shovels and buckets and lawn chairs
Crowd around like indifferent debris
The wind blows and I swirl
Powerless, out of control
I am the shore
The safe, solid ground
Between the deep, dark sea
And the trek back to reality
The tide comes back in
Smoothing out my gaps
And filling my soul
Rejuvenation at its finest
I am the shore
And I endure
Strong, everlasting
Tomorrow we’ll meet again
To do our hypnotic dance
Of rebound and rebirth
The tide goes out
If you enjoyed this poem, it came from my poetry collection, In the Depths. You can order it here, if you’re interested. Your support would mean a lot to me and my family. xo
