I am a boat on the ocean
Or even just a sailor on the boat
Sometimes joyous and singing of the sea
Sometimes hanging over the side
Wishing for death
And then in my illness and misery
For the briefest of moments
I learn, no more – remember -
I am also the sea itself
Endlessly at peace with itself

Yes, it is pretty and when not seen as a love song is actually quite profound. There is a notion in Buddhism of the underlying truth being the emptiness, stillness and silence.
Karin Taylor
ps…the ending is weird….so just ignore that bit :)
beautiful poetry pilgrim:)
Polly Peacock
Awesome! There is so much truth in that – we are all a part of the Universe and it is when we become one with the Universe, we excel!! Great poem!!

The longing for death – I understand – but all I get from stillness is well – more stillness all I get from silence is silence – no peace
