Question:She cuts a lonely figure sitting on the beach
knees pulled up arms tightly wound.

There is a silence except for the waves crashing around.
It seemed like even the traffic had died up on old beach road.

A seagull watches then bows his head in a moment of respect
He cries no more.

As i near him i see footprints in the sand big feet i think to myself.
As i sit down beside him i do not know this man
he does not know me. he looks up as i sit next to him.

We sit there together in solidarity ' he has came for healing
for reflection '
Each of us have our own fears ' heartaches ' and struggling to want to live.

Seeking answers in the crashing waves white water rolling
and as the night tiptoes into morning we both began to pray....

WOW that was so beautiful wow
bravo

That's amazing, and you just inspired me. Thank you.

i think this is an overall great poem...it used alot of imagery and i could see the whole thing in my mind while i was reading it...and the praying at the end must conclude that you are a christian?

WAW the beach is luck, because you are there.

Ouch!
Beauty, healing, and despair...in the same poem. You have painted a gorgeous picture of the waves flowing on the beach, and a true feeling one gets by sitting on that beach.
Both day, and night! Can I come along next time? I promise to be quiet as your thoughts!

That is nice.
