I stood before the crushing ocean
Between the foaming ocean ridges
And in a heartbeat's worth of drive
I swam right through.
I left behind, with fear and caution
The ashes of our burnt down bridges
Then took an oath to live and thrive
To start anew.

8 lines that nicely draw the speaker's feeling, juxtaposing images of the ocean's waves crushing against the rocky coast with a new start..
This poem has not been translated into any other language yet.
I would like to translate this poem
Then took an oath to live and thrive To start anew. A great sense of rebirth while living......... like your determination to create a new future in spite of negative experiences.. tony.
