Sadly soothing. I understand your yearning for the sea when sad..it is what I yearn for most too when troubled. Your Mother..what a beautiful and regal lady..your story is so moving..your words heart wrenching..Love, Diana.

Benice,
Your Mother is Very Beautiful, You Are Just As Stunning As She Is. I can see you take after her. Even her stature is that of a loving woman. My heart also feels the grief to read your heart in this poetic memory of your teen years. The trauma of seeing such violence I also can relate to as my Mother was also beaten. Domestic Violence hurts in many many ways.
Your Mom Is very Proud Of You!

First... Your mother is beautiful!
Secondly... This poem is just as beautiful. It breathes of the sadness in your heart and has a cathartic melody to it. The words are just as beautiful as the cadence...with soft and soothing words that carry one away...
Thanks for sharing this with us.

So very sad that a man should beat the woman who loves him. As Michael said, you must have been her joy. Though she held you with tears oftentimes, your smile would light up her life and give her courage to go on.
This is a beautiful poem born of heartaches.

Love, Connie

Bernice,

The song does have a soothing effect. It's so sad how the beauty of life covers the reality of it. We are older now and able to make our own decisions. Right or wrong they're ours to make. Peace, Love and Blessings Always, Paul.

...with pain and full notes...ones sings all the waters of emotion within...and a song of the sea...to hold one under...waters of freedom...when the land is found to be barren...and without fluid in the heart...compassion.
wonderful expressive wishes here Bernice...

I love the play with "see" and "sea". It works well--a lot of subliminal sea going on.
A younger member of the den, Lyndsy Young wrote a sea poem that was fabulous. I think that's her name, though I may have spelled it wrong.
Great power-positive song. --Charlie

Some parts of life are the unbearable realities that we see through out the world...it is so sad that even within love and relationships there is that harshness of which when young, it tragicly embeds itself within our hearts....

one can feel the anguish and pain within your thoughts...we can also see that your strength has brought you through this...

nice work Bernice...

The sea - free - and meditating on it's patterned surface of light, wind, waves is a way to the fortress that was that 16 years old's soul. I'm glad you had that - and now you are finding your freedom. And your mother - my lord what a beauty she was - so sad that there is such pain in young relationships of hardship - but her joy that came out of it, was YOU
