Safe Harbour

by debbylyn   Dec 17, 2007


You are...
My blessing...
...my love
I've found you...at last
Though torrential tears
Flooded my lonely river
They carried me
To the welcome shores...
...of your open arms

Incessant rough waters
Tossed and turbulent
Smoothed my edges
Created a perfect fit
Into the sacred hollow...
...of your heart

Gales of intrinsic sorrow
Blown to steal my breath
Merely fanned the flames of faith
Inflated the sails of determination
For at journey's end...
...there was you

My quest for your light
A brilliant beacon
Pierced the emptiness
Of night's deep despair
Permeated the waters of destiny
Illuminated the harbour of our eternity
You are...
My blessing...
...my love

*written for Barry...my blessing

    Lovely, I would have to say the second stanza was my favorite part but then again the lines, "blown to steal my breath, merely fanned the flames of faith" really took a hold on me.
    I really liked the overall structure and organization of the poem, also, it contributed greatly to the rythm of the piece.

    Lovely read, beautiful words

    Oh, my goodness... you took my breath away, Miss Debbie! I'm so glad that I stopped by your profile to check out one of your recent poems. ;)

    "Incessant rough waters

    For some unknown reasons, I think, I felt like I was being embraced by illusionary arms...

    "Gales of intrinsic sorrow
    Blown to steal my breath
    Merely fanned the flames of faith
    Inflated the sails of determination
    For at journey's end...
    ...there was you"

    Simply splendid... How the winds of trials and challenges in life goads you further towards the goal--towards him--is absolutely mesmerizing and inspirational, at the least. I am enchanted, yet again, by you.

    Happy Holidays!

    Beautiful poem, so touching.

    My quest for your light
    A brilliant beacon
    Pierced the emptiness
    Of night's deep despair
    Permeated the waters of destiny
    Illuminated the harbour of our eternity
    You are...
    My blessing...
    ...my love
