Analysis of from the shore
richard poor 2956 (Somewhere)
sometimes
I think
the ocean
is my soul.....
here is a vastness
unchartered and pure
unfathomable depths
teeming acceptance
as the waves roll
finding their shores,
that even the moon
is felt in tides
of highs and lows
for the sky is heaven
and i
i am just a horizon line away....
