The Shore's Promise Poem by Rose Marie Juan-austin
The Shore's Promise
Addiction is like a quicksand.
It pulls you down,
down,
down --
to the deepest
and darkest bottom.
But remember --
no matter
how deep it pulls,
if you reach for the light,
the shore is still there,
waiting...
offering a sense of hope.

This is sublimest dimension, dear Rose Marie, indeed search for the light and reach that! As long as we not stay in the dark, A Magnificent poem very well worded 5 Stars
Brilliant title and metaphor in a very inspirational poem! With God, anything is possible!
Beautifully penned! Indeed, hope is always there, even when the world tells us that there is none left! This piece makes me think of all the people who suffer from addictions... it is so sad that so few of them even strive for the shore or choose to see that it's there. My heart hurts for them.
