Tide Of Time Poem by Ismim Putera

Tide Of Time

Rating: 5.0


Where to run,
In this sea of space?
The tide of time is rolling,
My boat is old and torn apart,
Into the storms of formless thoughts.

Where to hide,
I am too far from ashore,
I am entrapped, and entangled,
In the present time, in the present moment,
No island to sleep, no moon to shine, no stars to guide.

Where to sail,
In this encircling current?
I will catch the wind, paddle the boat fast,
I want to see the sun rising at the edge of the sky,
Until I reach the port, lay my anchor down, then I rest.

Where to hide, I am too far from ashore, I am entrapped, and entangled, In the present time, in the present moment, ....until i reach the port........ life is a journey. a picturesque description of this journey in the boat of the life's waters. desire, disappoinments, failure, attempts of success. a fine poem dear poet. tony
