Man OVERBOARD! Random, rough, unedited poetry...
For the record, this is pretty rough (just about as rough as the moment that brought this to light!).. But here's goes nothing!
Man OVERBOARD!
I saw a shooting star last night, & wasn't sure at the time what I'd wish for...I know now, so if I can please still have my wish, it's that you will always SEA me. Like a star lost in the ocean, you found me and saw value in me long ago. Though the tides have turned, my love for you is still the same. Like the endless waves crashing upon the ocean shores & Rocky waves of life, I know where my true love lays. It lays its head on solid ground at night, not grainy sands of time. It lays beneath the cover of your wings and your forever shining light. Whether the brightest of Sun, the cloudiness of day, in the light of the moon, or the stars in the skies, or the pitch darkness of the wilderness, you shine for me wherever my path & journey takes me. I will follow you to the ends of the earth & back just for a glimpse of your light. Your lips are like the sweetest of candies, your sweat like the saltiness of the seas, when I hear your voice my world still crumbles, & your touch still gives me goose bumps. I love you now, then, & forever more. Always, endless..without limits, for infinity and beyond..you are my one true soul mate, my one true LOVE. I will always need you, always seek you, always and forever long to feel your touch. I'm broken & stained like the seas sand dollars placed on the scattered shore. SEA me now and find those promises scattered like mini doves, that once formed your star inside that penniless, worthless, & broken sand dollar. So for now, I'll wait. I'll be patient & kind, & I'll rejoice in you. I will wait for you to SEA me again while I gaze at your face. Whether near or far, your my rock, my solid ground, my anchor. You complete me. Your face is ingrained in my mind like a burning Sun on a hot scorched day. If I can measure & listen to your mind's waves I will. If I could SEA your dreams I would help to bring them into reality. Come back to me and hold me again.
Never ending, ceaseless. I truly LOVE you.

While I was swimming in your sea, Lord...
As I dipped below your waters today, I came to realize the simplicity of it all. You come to know you are at peace at times like this. You stand on the vast beaches & endless water line and feel the amazing tranquility that surrounds you.
I have learned through some rough experiences with my illness that it's the small things that matter. The sound of the waves, the refreshing waters that flow over your body, & the wind against your cheeks.
I look forward to the time when the kids are grown & my husband and I give up the need to be in one place. Don't get me wrong, I want to enjoy every minute my children are with me while their young, but the need to live a simple life with maybe a truck and an old trailer seem just right around the corner. With little possessions in hand, I look forward to enjoy Your beauty, Lord.
I hope you all have something you look forward to...
