The sound of ferries....

It always comes down to the sound of ferries
No silly
Not faeries
Ferries…those big boats
The ones that bring you to the island
And yeah
The ones that take you away
Sure, I chose the island
For the isolation I craved
I just didn’t realize
How seeing you come
And go
Would break my heart each time
I wanted to be alone
To deal with my pain
But seeing you like this
Leaving again
Brought a different kind of pain
One I will always associate
With the sound of ferries

Awesome poem, Sue. With our desire to find solitude, we often get served a helping of lonliness and heartache.
take care,

Sue, for very personal reasons I absolutely L-O-V-E this poem! What's better (or sadder) than the sound of the ferry? God help us, it's the smell.

P.S. The ferry travels both ways, girlfriend; get yourself a ticket to the mainland. {wink}

Haunting, Sue!

Something I haven't thought about in years.
Thanks for the memory. Excellent write.
