Silent Waves



The Water Beckons To The Shore, To Me
It Calls Me Like If It’s Alive And Living
I Stare At The Moonlight Beyond The Sea
I Know The Water Is Life And Giving
So I Step In The Warm Mellow Water
I Step Further Down And I Start To Swim
I Feel The Temperature Get Hotter
I’m At Rest And I Start To Sing A Hymn
However, I Feel Something And I Frown
I Felt The Water Get Cold, Nonetheless
All Of A Sudden The Sea Pulls Me Down
I Try To Swim Up But It Is Useless
I Call Out But No One Hears My Distress
For The Sea Is A Dark And Cruel Mistress

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
I wrote this for a class and I tried as much I could to follow the formal rules of sonnets but the last two lines didn't make it happen. I poured my feelings and I could find no other way of putting the last part of the poem together.
COMMENTS OF THE POEM

Beautiful sonnet and like a beautiful hymn in rhyme
