I AM A BABY

I Am A Baby
In A Bassinet On A Beach
How Many Of Us Have Been Born On The Surging Crest?
How Many Of Us Will Die Upon The Ebb?
I Am Rocked To Sleep
By The Rhythm
I Am Awakened
To My Infancy

Time
If not
A liar
At best
A deceiver
Thank you, Ben.
Or rather, to you. I’m sure these words will crop up in a piece of mine some day. 🙂
I would be honoured to be quoted by you.
One of the best poems I’ve read about the ocean in a long time. Such spot-on sentiments.
Thank you, Natalie.
