Last Tide Out Poem by Roger Snow

Last Tide Out



The Shorline Calling me
and this wind is turning free, ,

and there's sign in the Sky
telling me, come child, ,
come up, , now fly, ,

and there's that old Room
up the Stairs, ,
Where I used to live
Draped in Gloom
a Table minus chairs
and a Roof which
leaks like a sieve
and abandoned soon, ,
but no one Cares, ,
it's just a Room, , ,

and no one Cares, , ,

I suppose I could stroll the Beach
maybe find solace within my reach, ,


But I feel the only way, , ,
is to follow Shorelines Call, ,

and just sail away, ,

and no one cares

what becomes of me, ,
I live reclusive in a self
styled serenity, , ,

and no one cares, , ,

Some Artist will come along
and maybe help to write this song
for I can no longer hold Key
My voice is older then History, ,
and there's a wish
that's comforting
To know in my day, ,
I sang well enough
for what I'd play
and when I'm back Home, ,
Again that Talent, ,
will be my own, , ,

Tide draws back pulling me
feel the Energy of the Sea, ,
as she calls me Home, , ,
one last Tide for me
to take seriously, , ,
cause it's taking me Home, , ,
no more shall there stand
Obstacles holding me back
on this Melting land
Wind calls out, , Sail Now
you're Finally Free, , ,

Hear the rush of the Wind
wraps around my head
kisses sweep across my chin
and now touch the eyes of God, , ,
you've arrived Home, , ,

and no one cares, , ,

No one's missing me
I've no connection here
to covet me
I'm loose with all I have
let it fall to the ground
I don't care, ,
it's all a Burden to me anyway
I never held it as important
to me in that Day
why keep it now, , , let it fall, ,

and no one cares to say

what's wrong with me,
and why I feel this way, , ,
and that's the way I'd have it
that's best for me, ,
to have nothing or no one
to have a say, , , ,

in my life I've done ~~~~~~~~~ End ~~~ why? ~~~~~ because ~~~~

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
Ok, Faced with Terminal Cancer, I penned this as a Swan Song. You see, to me, when the Body suffers it's final Fail, we do not die, we go back home, back home to the World we were of, before we entered this Plane of experience. The exit is related as riding the Last Tide out, the last you'll experience in this World. The attached Photo is of my Friends Fishing Vessel, the Morning after it broke loose it's Mooring, She too, is riding her last Tide. Perfect Metaphor I say.
