Happy the time <br />Or sad? <br />When it must come <br />To leave <br />A less than one <br />Between <br />A shore and a whirl <br />Then step and speed <br />The throw <br />And heat <br />Iced sand to boil <br />And melt to oil <br />To blood <br />To everything <br />Each nerve <br /> <br />Yet do I hate <br />Or love <br />The toil <br />The memory of all of it <br />When I miles walk <br />Between <br />The ebb and tide <br />Then back <br />To rest <br />In a shell <br />In a nest <br />On a shore <br />Of a vast whirlpool <br />Yet again <br />And again <br />Wait for <br />Long for <br />A next. <br /> <br /> <br />(this I represents women's hearts and I in other poems represent a human psyche in a pilgrimage from fear to peace from agony to freedom - just to clarify.....) <br />E<br /><br />Eman Elbadawi<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/by-the-sea-side/
