Upon The Water’s Edge

by David Lester Young — Read all 1,103 poems by David Lester Young

My life in a way has been a water's edge of observations writing my roller coaster verse. That while I am an HeArtMosphere Poet, sometimes "The Circle Center" rocks, other times it is the spokes moving in and out.

As an American Vietnam War Veteran, I am a napkin writer that learned to heal within the stains of the napkins nailing words to emotions. This was a way I vented in dealing with inner emotions building up. In life, I learned to either give up Poetry, or "Upon The Water's Edge" navigate your future UniVerse.

I guess in a way, I am Writing My Waves, under my OWNED UniQue terms.

Upon The Water’s Edge

Winds wash ashore, see mist balm visions
Life churns around, waiting calm decisions
Thoughts teeter totter, upon solemn ledges  
Walking water waves, surf serene edges.

Sea shore tides, rush in and out observations
River banks flood, up and down contemplation
Time continuum amid, flux attraction contraction
Rhyme wave ripple, reflected adhesion cohesion

How life mirrors edges, within - outside borders
Inside being, bottomless pit depression disorder
Outside, slippery slope mountain pecking orders
Thin miniscule tight rope, balanced manic diss-order.  

Waters edges, can run shallow, in depth deceptions
As solid ground, can deceive, in quick sand receptions
That walking too far, can create an island perception
While an rip tide, can drown someone with emotions.

Wherein the wishing well - Upon The Water’s Edge
Wherein the see shore swell - Upon The Water’s Edge
Wherein the babbling brook sounds - Upon The Water’s Edge
Where thy mist, in your eyes, dew reflect your future journey -
Upon The Water’s Edge.


Upon The Water’s Edge

Winds wash ashore
see mist balm visions
Life churns around
waiting calm decisions
Thoughts teeter totter
upon solemn ledges  
Walking water waves
surf serene edges.

Sea shore tides
rush in and out observations
River banks flood
up and down contemplation
Time continuum amid
flux attraction contraction
Rhyme wave ripple
reflected adhesion cohesion

How life mirrors edges
within - outside borders
Inside being
bottomless pit
depression disorder
Outside
slippery slope mountain
pecking orders
Thin miniscule tight rope
balanced manic diss-order.  

Waters edges
can run shallow
in depth deceptions
As solid ground
can deceive
in quick sand receptions
That walking too far can
create an island perception
While an rip tide
can drown someone
with emotions.

Wherein the wishing well -
Upon The Water’s Edge
Wherein the see shore swell -
Upon The Water’s Edge
Wherein the babbling brook sounds -
Upon The Water’s Edge
Where thy mist
in your eyes
dew reflect
your future journey -
Upon The Water’s Edge.
