You and I
Watching the shore I see my life wash out to distant places.
I see my life as if it were the wave thats coming in.
One moment its in full view I see it loud and clear.
And now its taken a new course no longer in my view.
My life has been the same as you I whisper to my friend.
You move with a mighty force like I did when I was young.
But now as you reach the shores and the end is close for you.
You seem to have more in common with me the mortal man.
I watch you as you stumble in a small and fearless friend.
When once you were a mighty thing with force to scare most men.
But now you limp up to my feet I can feel your feeble cry.
I hear you loud and clear my friend, that the two of us will die.
You die here as I stand and feel you cling to me.
But you my friend will rise again to beat these shores again.
But I your watchman standing here too old to have much fear.
Watch as you go rolling out to come back in again.
As if you were afraid to die alone it’s me you wish would come.
My time like your is not too long I seen many go to you.
And as I stand and watch you come I really have no fear.
We share a common tread my friend my body’s made of water and one day soon you and I will swim the sea together.

Lovely shot with the flower beaut yellow very soft.The writing is superb,soft and understanding
David Roman replied
Yes we understand that at some time in our life I hope.
I look at that poem and say this is right just right.
I added a couple of lines from its original that I wrote last night today so it flows with a little more deepness.But its a funny thing writing you always see room for more and when do you say enough!
I guess a poem is like life it can continue until…
Well until someone’s reading your poem to others or the wind or about you to your mourners maybe the wind.Oh well you get it I think.
Thanks Ajax
