Contrasts from shore to shore, from moment to moment, we look ahead at the ‘other side.’


Poem Artwork

What bridge be there
Or saving boat or pier
Amidst such torrid churn
And heave of roiling life
When all the sea —
We see is angry?

 

What makes the other side

Of that which drives

And crushes and turns

Us towards that right

One moment to flee —

Stay waiting there in silent beauty?

Short, but lifelong. Beautifully worded. You had me thinking of those beautiful moments in life, usually when we are young and carefree. And then the toll that life takes like your metaphor, the roiling churn, hoping for a lifeboat or island to land on. Not the usual, heaven or hell. But perhaps, an alternative?

I'm reminded by this eloquent poem that we often can only see the calm while immersed in the chaos. Perhaps it's another measure of the paradox of life that is prevalent continually. Turning toward the right for that one moment to flee is perhaps no match for the silent beauty. Loved this.

So powerful, a fine example of how less is more. In these cryptic words a compelling image and message. Loved this. One moment to flee indeed.
