THE BIG POND By Fiona Cummings


The big pond

By Fiona Cummings

 
The ocean ripples its turquoise shape

Of a friendly white wave

The beauty of it, there’s no escape

The shells beat towards the sand

Not knowing their destiny of where they will land

Grey fierce rocks point with strong images

Casting shadows making access limited

The salty smell lingers

With a strong grip of sea life fingers

Driftwood floats

Broken boats

Mystery’s hide in the depth of the water

Forgotten ghosts

Who sailed the seas

Bringing back treasures and memories

Who’s lives were taken

In weathers unforgiving

The sea can be hell

And at the same time heaven

As the splashing, salted sounds string together

Choruses of harmony forever
