A Poem Written by Vivian Ennis 08/15/2015
Oh how I longed to see the ocean and hear the rumbling of its waves
to smell the air with a hint of salt, this taste my body craves
I waited patiently knowing I would be connected to it all, when I finally arrived
But without a warning I realized all I knew how to do, was to survive
The oceans awakening I had longed for, seemed so out of reach
Perhaps I was pushing too hard, for an awakening to be achieved
The sounds of the waves, they send chills down my spine
they remind of a long time ago, a different place and time
I feel so out of touch no connection, but to my heart that beats
Sorrow fills my soul and for that I cannot speak
Mistakes I have made in my life and the feelings are still here
just wishing I could go back and redo a lot of my past years
But there is no time but the present, the present I bestow
my youth feels like it is slipping out of my hands where did it go
I cannot go back to when things were simple in my life
when I was standing on the beach and I was someone’s wife
Where did I go, in all of Life’s time and space?
Now a lonely life to live, I pray for God’s loving grace…
