I shall retire early <br />and rest in the waves of your love, <br />being with you. <br /> <br />I will push my boat across senses' sand <br />and paddle beyond the breakers of memory, <br />finding there the still numbness of your depths <br />while you lift the sails of spirit. <br /> <br />Gone is the beach, the world, <br />only the sea with no horizons. <br /> <br />Gone is the boat... <br />just the sunlight <br />and invigorating warmth <br />of your presence <br />shining, <br />shining calmly. <br /> <br />Thoughts, still awareness ~ <br />Actions, pure being ~ <br />Feelings, only peace ~ <br />all drowned, <br />drowned <br />in the ocean of your love.<br /><br />Ian Trousdell<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/awareness-i-shall-retire-early/
