Dear 2018,
Will you be kind to me?
Moonlight glare.
Seaside stares.
Tides down, open air,
waves disappear
when storms are near.
I've missed the warnings,
I've heard the storming,
and I've read the letters.
Letters of warning
of the high seas coming.
Coming to the horizon with new arrival.
Dear 2018,
Will you be kind to me?
Lost at sea waiting for the phone to ring.
Waves crash the hopes of tomorrow to sing.
Today feels like yesterday, but writes like tomorrow.
Lost at sea waiting for the devotion to cease.
It is the type of poison only a teen feels,
only an adult heals,
and only grandma reads.
Dear 2018,
Will you be kind to me?
The scheme isn’t the goal I seek.
It’s the sight of hopelessness I pray disappears.
Along the way,
there has been some wins and loss.
Will our goodbyes be forever
or until I see you later?
I see that it’s up to me,
it’s key to be here,
so let me sign it free.
Welcome 2018
Love always,
it seems you don't like Dwayne Johnson much hahahaha

Thank you, thank you very much!

Thank you, I think 2018 will be a surprise we all hoped it would be. How are you enjoying the platform so far?
I sure hope so! I am loving the platform so far. It's taken me a little while to understand everything, but it's starting to sink in at last :)
I like the juxpostion of "serious" prose and "The Rock" . These lines were the crux for me .
Lost at sea waiting for the phone to ring.
Waves crash the hopes of tomorrow to sing.
Today feels like yesterday, but writes like tomorrow.
Waiting for the phone to ring sucks and all the connectations that come with it.
Sometimes I’m shock at the play of words myself. Speaking of waiting for the phone ringing, humph!

Thanks for stopping by, I’m sure your poem is lovely.
I, too, love the Rock. You are very good at poetry! I wonder what it all means...
Isn’t he amazing! I can’t help but stare at him. :-) I’m glad you enjoyed my poem. My thought process when writing was a mix of example get my hope, fears of 2018 while describing an imagine. I have this image of being lost at sea that feels the same as entering this new year.
Have you ever listened to Rich Mullins? What you describe sounds a bit like some of his songs. Some of my favorites are "Hold Me Jesus", "Sometimes by Step", and "The Color Green" - who am I kidding I love all his songs, I'm going to force myself to stop at 3. I highly recommend the sometimes by step video, he gives a good talk at the beginning :)
The rock is more like "the pebble" on that first one... so slim.... You look great as always Kubby... OP brazilian genes :D
