ARA's blog: "poetry"

Give me your torches Stand and watch from your porches I'm going to set this reality afire In an attempt to escape this muddy quagmire I can't seem to move my feet When do the jesters bring a treat? I see a demented view of those around me I need to spend some time in the glorious sea The sea, my rejuvenator and lover The sea, my teacher and mother The respect I have for her I cannot measure The many times she has given both pain and pleasure The lessons taught through rewards and discipline The fear brought on by that ever so ominous fin I've lost my way and can't seem to find to return To my home for which my soul burns She calls me upon winds so sweet Teasing me with visions so complete Thundering whitewater and power unchecked Moments fleeting and man made structures wreaked The quietness of windless and wave less days Reflections upon mother earth's temperamental ways The long rides on dark moonless nights The majestic views and countless beautiful sights Gliding upon the glass of a perfect morning The huge deep and dangerous barrels that send adrenalin soaring The sea my teacher The sea my mother The sea my lover The sea my rejuvenator
