Oh sea wall and
Boundless sea
Living through the cycles
Endlessly
Changes occur but you
Don't care - though
The years reveal the
Signs of wear. Stoically
There facing it all-
The calm and the storms
The wind and the squall
Swarming with tourists
Or alone in the dark
You're waiting for me
When I come with my heart.
Answers waiting in cracks
In the stone - or flowing
To me on ocean foam
I feel your energy
I drink it in
I can't stop myself
I dive right in
You buoy me up
And we are one
Sweet release
And perfect perfect peace
-Lona Crask
My mother showed me this poem she wrote years ago. It brought tears to my eyes. Several years ago I went through a very, very difficult time in my life. I sat hour after hour, day after day on this wall, just thinking and looking for answers. Still to this day whenever I have a problem I always find my way back to Tybee so I can sit here and think.....
