Storming Sea Poem by Shirow Walker

In life I seemed to be
A man forever lost in a boys dream
Seeing only what I wished to be
Not how others comprehended me
And so I'd say, as a friend;
As you are, I have never been
As you believe, I have not sought
To be found, when you are lost
To wish in vain in a cold storms wind
To be safe once again
Misleading words spoken in haste
A life led without trace
Cast in stone is what I wanted to be
Left to stare into the sea
And stand forever against it's waves
And to shatter ships that lost their way
Littered with wishes washed ashore
Tattered remnants of sailors lost in a cold storm
