Sadness And Loss Poem by Suzanne Andersson

The sand and waves were calling me
The heat; oppressive; overwhelming me
My legs felt like jelly; my heart felt like ice
Today; my baby lost her baby
My little girl was crying; her heart broken so!
I felt so sad and blue but what could any one do?
The waiting was heart breaking;
The heat; hovering; like impending doom!
Not a breeze was blowing; everything was still
My heart; with hers; was sighing
Our eyes together crying;
Tears pouring down like rain!
Oh Lord! my baby's in so much pain!

The water was cold and...I welcomed its cool embrace
I needed to chill a bit; I needed to let it all go
Reluctantly I let the water pull me
Deeper and deeper into its cold heart
Just like a ballet dancer; lifted up and put down again
I let the waves move me; I felt the cooling tide
Slowly I was comforted; completed
Like in a lovers welcoming embrace
I let the water take me; wash away my pain
Until I felt relaxed and free
Like someone had lifted away my pain
Oh Lord I need your love tonight!
This day has been so low Lord!
Please help me find the high!

Hundreds of seagulls suddenly take flight
A dog has entered their dominion over the sands
A cormorant flies straight and low over the waves
Seagulls dip into the waters; finding minnows for their feast
An aeroplane comes flying in; lights flashing
Bright; sparkling in the gloom
Waiting for lightning; air; calm before the storm
A few girls being silly in the water
Lovers hugging nearby
I'm concentrating on the motion
The waves; a calming lullaby!
