Rip-Tide

[Ken Corbett]

If only I could find the courage
to champion a hopeless cause,
embark upon a lost crusade,
seek glory in a daunting quest.

I see you ride the blue-green wave
cresting on the white-cap foam,
beyond the jagged swirling reef
encircling my calm lagoon.

Today I brave the crashing surf,
rip-tide current, shoals of shell.
Will I be dashed on knife-edge rocks
or gain the sea and sail with you?

Oh, my~ this is absolutely enchanting. I adore it!!!
It's been a long time since a poem made me feel like this.
A very tragically romantic piece of writing. Awesome!!

I love the sense of challenge and determination I feel reading this.

Sometimes others bring out the best in us.. make us willing to step outside ourselves to be seen in their eyes... that's what I felt.. Thanks Ken
