Even inside melancholy winds
I feel the pace, of your spirit
Deciding
Not to allow this moment, to frighten
I wait for clarity and a clearing
Humbly
I listen, knowing above all else
The battled shore I stand upon
You can overcome
Even inside melancholy winds
I feel the pace, of your spirit
Deciding
Not to allow this moment, to frighten
I wait for clarity and a clearing
Humbly
I listen, knowing above all else
The battled shore I stand upon
You can overcome

Another marvelous beginning.

Beautiful photo ~ and even though the winds and beach may trigger melancholy, there is always great hope. Your poem brings out this feeling. Sounds like you had a great weekend ~

I agree, for me, melancholy is more of my moment of self reflection. Not necessarily all doom and gloom, but more of a wonderment of where I’ve been and what may be, you know? If that makes sense… I’m glad the photo looks okay. And I’m thrilled you feel hope with this one. I had a weekend of reflection, love and laughter. Nothing better some days. xxx The beach house was gorgeous and you’d be proud of me…I didn’t fall into the channel once. 🙂 I did have my share of gin and tonics, so the possibilities were there… 😉

Very nice, Audith. I picture this warrior trying to get to someone on a beach. But first, he must battle the ocean. Imagine how hard that would be. He wants to get there badly, see.

Thank you, Duketh. I think battling an ocean does seem a bit too hard. Agreed. I wasn’t aware.

Nah! Depends what he’s battling it for, see.

The battled ground to be overcome. That phrase brings so much to its sonority; like something that ought to happen. A long battle later, some scroched earth and tired Souls finally getting back to rebuild their beauteous lives. It deserves to happen. x

Yes, it ought to happen, yet so much stands in the way. Mostly, our minds. Thank you, my dear. It does deserve to happen. I believe that to be true, yet…we shall see. xx

John, I’m so glad you could feel the Gulf. Yep, this was it still this morning, as I walked the beach. The long weekend seaside was cold and a bit melancholy, but lovely just the same. A bit warmer today.

Indeed!! I take this from a religious standpoint, though I suspect it could also refer to someone strong and very special — a warrior-someone!

A religious standpoint is perfect standpoint, Debbie. The fantasy of a warrior someone is just as lovely. Thank you for seeing both sides. Hope all is well and your weekend a bit warmer. 🙂
