The Pier
by David Anthony
Friday, March 19, 2004
Rated "G" by the Author.

The end of this Pier is in need of repair.
Fishermen fish uncaring and unaware.

The night time light has been shattered by the wind and embe dded in the wooden planks.
The Ocean's tide rides high, splashing waves that erode and rust the metal shanks.

In the dim moonlight, a long way from shore, there's a feeling of lost at sea.
Loneliness like driftwood floats by on rotting memories.

Cement pylons hold strong the old piers heavy weight.
As time and age and the constant storms predict its inevitable fate.

Expectations crumble beneath the once sturdy and strong Pier.
Proving to all who walk its length, there will eventually be a need of repair.

Like any pier that juts out into the ocean, the salt will wear it down in time. If you want a similar poem to check out, see "How Long"

Odd, I just had a nightmare about fisihing and bridges in which an ex-coworker perished.

I have photographed many of these, and your poem made another
vivid image, to store in my artist's mind.
I like this.
