Searching For A New Beginning Poem by Allie Lusha

Searching For A New Beginning



Floating down the river, where are we going
Staring at the sunlight never knowing
where our journey will take us with each ripple beneath
Taking us still further through the leafy glade
Azure promises we trade
Shimmering waters lay still as waves gently ebb and flow
Our thirst is quenched
Our minds drenched
The sun obscures our view our senses confused
We reach the great expanse and the still becomes the storm
Restless crashes against the rocks, rapidity to transform
From the depth foaming white horses rise with secrets
Incessant, unfathomable salty tears are cried
A forgotten wreck striving upwards, we salvage what we can
but the more we find the further we drift apart
struggling against the turning tide
We falter, spiralling downwards, plunging into darkness
thoughts of what we used to share freezing in the iciness
with each breathless gasp that intensifies our needs
to seize the fraction of life that remains
only recognised by our heart pains
To sustain survival and renew
The waters ebb and flow to cleanse and display
A new beginning, a new part to play.
