Thoughts surge in waves unrelenting
Roaring as it crashes
Into the hard rock of my mind
Grey and withered with time
Sometimes I wish I could crumble
And be washed away with the waves
Disappearing into the depths
Carried away into oblivion
To a place so tranquil
As still as the waters in the ocean
Into the depths unseen and unknown
Masked by it’s deceitful surface
Thoughts surge again in my mind
Bringing with it some surprises
Remembrances, memories
Then it recedes as quick as it came
Storm clouds gather warning me of impending rain
That will lash out furious in sweet pain
In torrents accompanied by lightning
And a thunderous deep rumble
Thoughts charge in furiously
Into every crevice, every nook
Leaving me choked, gasping
Then they recede and leave
While I remain
Washed and cleansed…
with every wave
A Poem by MVJ Simon
