Driven .. Prose Poem

Oars in hand, mind deep in thoughts, my boat slowly rows away from the over peopleized shore line,

With each flex of my arms, my eyes watch the bright city lights slowly fade into the night,

Leaving its hustle and bustling sounds at the shore edge,

Soon all my ears hear are the soft soothing sounds of my oars caressing the dark waters ahead of me...

The moonlight now shines down on my flesh like the sun,

The stars slowly appear one by one through the light density of the clouds,

As the still of the night takes over all things around me, my mind reflects on the you, and the me...

As my tiny rowboat ease through the dark of waters ahead of me,

My eyes catch the reflection of the North Star that shines like your smile, twinkles like the sunlight, when it twinkles in your eyes....

A bead of water flings into the air from my oar and lands on my face, its softness reminds me of the softness of your face against mines, as the drop ease down my cheek, it feels like the gentleness of your fingertips softly strumming my cheek, moments before your lips are softly introduced to mines...

A gentle wave raise the front of my boat, reminisce of the rise your love gives the spirit of my soul,

As the single wave crest, my oars stop, my body awaits the trill of the free fall of the boat back into the dark waters ahead of me, the same feeling I get as my body press deep into yours...

Again my hands pull the oars slowly through the dark waters ahead of me,

The oars caress the softness of the water deeper, as the depth of the dark water rises,

My mind drifts into the darkness ahead of me, as the spirit of you shines inside of me...

My eyes close and a reflection of your face appears in my mind, the silhouette of your body resting while swinging in a hamlet in the midnight moon light, while watching the shoreline for signs of me, crowds its insides...

Eyes open and look above, I thank God for giving me the moon and the stars that shine almost as bright as the gift of life he gave you...

Oars in hand, mind deep in thoughts, my boat slowly rows through the dark waters ahead of me...

The opposite shore edge appears, the dark water in front of me disappears,

I step out of my boat, into your waiting arms,

As my arms hold you tight, a single tear appear in my eye, as I give thanks to God, for giving you your life...
