I Crawled: A Poem
I crawled to the water's edge
But I could touch it not
It slipped away from my grasp
Like time from an old man's hand
Or memories from his mind
Years gone by, moon chasing sun
Stars chasing the moon. I age.
Yet here I crawl and rest and crawl
Grasping, gasping for the dark sea's edge
It teases my brain, coming near to extended fingers
Then fleeing again as my heart leaps
Never will its peacefulness be mine
Oft how I wish it
No sun on my back, no weight
No mortals tearing, pulling me away from it
I fear I shall only reach it when my ears go deaf
And my eyes go dark and my bones are hardened ash
Then and only then
Will peace be mine
