How poetic can you be? Write a short poem about what you see

Ladies, Y'all did a great job

Ashes

Walking along the shore seeking a moments peace,

All the beauty that surrounds gives her some release.

She carries the ashes of her love so true,

Releasing them quietly under the bright full moon.

Sadness catches her. Tears she will not let go,

Not yet. Not till the waves pull her with the ocean’s flow.

“Cry my lady, go ahead and cry your tears. Eternity forever,

Now is not the time, but someday we will again be together.”

The young girl, rises high

Takes a deep breath and sighs

With a wave, she has released

All of her wishes and dreams

They head towards a place unknown, far away

Where they will settle until the day

She recalls them back to her

Dreams of youth of boy bands and coloured hair

As she grows up, smashing them off her list, one by one, her life unfolds

All of them hers, she has paid the price

Some dreams met, some sacrificed

Some dreams she happily recalls, Some dreams never to be told

The girl now a woman, has bigger dreams a man, a child, a future house full of laughter and love

A pen out the back which houses a dove

They are her dreams to hold in her own arms,

Her dreams to protect from harm

Her dreams to love and to hold

Her dreams have now become much more bold

She is so beautiful, her prayers so deep

stars and moon, she asks God her soul he keep

She knows he hears all of her prayers

He'll answer her, in the night as she deeply stares

He is in the moon and stars that shine,

He is her rock, he keeps her close, her shrine

He made this beauty she sees so clear,

the clouds the sky ands stars so very near

She has faith he will hear her tonight,

She knows he is in the moon so bright.

She prays he will direct her how

decisions she must make about a proposal now,

The man she loved she sheds a tear

as she stares into the night so very clear

the wind blows softly from the sky,

why now she can't help but wonder why

The night so very dark will tell her what she needs to know

the answers will come she feels sure, its time to go

She looks up at the stars one last time,

She knows she'll accept it will all be fine.
