Poems
Aug 2016
A Scenic Route
I was a bushfire, lit by the sun;
Ravaging through the foliage
Igniting the masses with a spark
Carried along by the wind
I was the ocean currents
Creating rips pulling you out
Taking you with me
An irresistible force
I was the cliffs, along the seaside;
Framing the beauty below
Protector of the sacred waters
Daring you to jump in
I was the trees that hold through storms
Giving you shelter; offering safety
Completely one of mine own
Each branch reaching for the sky
I was the violent wind
Pushing you forward, backward
Pushing you to push against me
Or be taken by my ferocity
I was your everything and it hurts
To think you've given up on me
No sun, current, cliff, tree or breeze
Will ever set you free
