From backward beat to earth beyondOne wish to whisper whilst alone at seafrom inside seams that happen to be frayedis why, oh why is this concern of me? And so I still my soul until it's stayedwithin such confines and their shaking shroud,and till those shreds of shouts can be relayed into a theme acceptable out loud;as audible to audience and ear,at such a tale that lets my heart feel proud. Yet still I stutter shades of void and fearof happenings beyond my bare control,until worst outcomes offer to adhere. And in so doing, I portray a whole--an entity that suffers as a hostto all of beauty and entire of soul. So sail I must and sail must I the mostto Ouistreham, where memories have playedalong all land to cover me as coast. Maternal spirits guide me on my feet,to tread a length of love and all upseatone wish--to whisper whilst alone at sea...oh why, oh why is this concern of me?Copyright © 2013 Laura Lamarca
