“Eyes Of The Beholder”


 

Through these eyes I watch


As waves crash and roll upon the shore


Through these eyes I see


Rivers over flowing

Carrying their cargo

Debris of broken souls


Washed and sifted and dumped

Within the belly of mother ocean

As waves crash and roll out…


Reflections of beauty now gone

Washed and crushed by ebb and flow

Slowly but effectively


She spits them out


Upon shores of devastation now

You see grains of sand swept away

Through eyes of the beholder

As white collared waves just wash away

Devastation of yesterday

And leave upon shores

Debris of sorrows

Scattered between grains of sand

Wonderful expression of your reflections on the sorrowful secrets and power of the mighty ocean. Arouses sad thoughts of the victims of Tsunamis and Hurricanes.

Tinka..
It makes me think of Katrina........one year later....how many grains of sand WERE swept away, and how much debris of sorrows, STILL LIES, scattered between grains of sand...

Outstanding, though heart-wrenching, esp. with the music and photo!

Love you, Rhonda

Dear Tinka,

Sometimes the ocean is so peaceful and soothing while at other times it can be so rough.

Within the debris of sorrows
lie the hopes for our tomorrows.

Let us, therefore, be treasure seekers.

Love, Joy & Peace,
Joseph

Perfect poem, you're a genius, Tinka. Especially when spiders are far away. But still sad. I love to see your mirth. I want to see you happy. But to be happy first you must be sad. What a vicious circle we live. Love, Victor

Tinka

A very soulful and expressive poem that lays bare your emotions, in superb metaphor and description..

The flotsam and jetsam that is washed ashore in life tells the epic tale of human endurance and struggle..

Absolutely brilliant composition

Love
