Surprising At Times Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Floating upon surfaces of the ocean as it rises and
falls with the tides of it's essence.

Listening to crashing waves and the intense still-
ness in between.

Feeling loneliness pressing my heart inside, as it
spills tears of sorrow into depths below.

Surprising at times, yet there's a knowing hidden
deeply within this being.

Holding it closely until the day when I am deposited
on shores of a final sunset and horizon.
