TIRED HEART
looking over life
my tired heart
this gallery of thunder
rumble beats
on
eyes tear
before all the beauty
amid the wonder
and confusion
life is
pain and suffering
our chosen teachers
love and beauty
our souls redeemers
while everything else
in between
fills in the blanks
of who we are
yet our choices alone
determine what and who
it is we
ultimately become
still no matter
who or what
i become or am
or where it is
i am going
at any given
point in my life
seems i always
return back home
sooner or later
eventually
to the sea
to find myself again
to reclaim my truth
surrendering fully
to its healing
grace and peace
to renew my
sense of place
and restore me back
into an even deeper
heightened awareness
of truly sacred
reconnection
with its
sacred
all

Thanks for your interesting feedback niteridet...I first responded to your poem here with a much longer, & more substantial comment, but it seems I must have posted it on the wrong reply box (the big one below, rather than the one just beneath your piece, which I have now gone back & done here now!...

felt it deep inside oin!
thank you Strider!... That's where 'feeling' means the most & also often feels the best!!!... (lol)
* btw: since you replied here to my poem, when I went online this morning & after I found your comment here, I re-read & revised my poem (added a bit more to it, that came to me as I re-read it) because it didn't quite feel completed the way I first posted it last night.)

Thanks for your comments hisevrywish!...
- 'melancholy"... - "YES!":
I've been landlocked here in the Southern California desert now for over 5 & 1/2 yrs. & having grown up surfing my whole life(till now!) & having always lived within minutes of the ocean, my body, mind, heart, spirit & soul all literally scream & ache inside for that huge, missing, living part of my pre-destined being's, now incomplete, somewhat fractured wholeness!...
In the meantime, I can only hope and keep dreaming, that 'she' will still be there waiting for me, if & when I ever get to see & be with her again to once more rejoice in our blissfully reunited intimacies!!!... ("sigh")...
