I see you there on that island
All lost and confused,
You’ve been standing on that island for a long while now,
Screaming S.O.S. with all your heart.
I’m floating here in this cool water,
Mind and body wandering about.
My plan of action is forming
And I can only hope that you’ll wait for me.
I know I may not look like much,
All small and powerless in this mighty ocean,
But I promise you can count on me
To help let you go, to help set you free.
I wash up on the shore
And with the tide I take away the S.O.S.,
Though now you are weary and unsure of me,
Something unknown and strange.
I give my hand
And there it shall stay
Awaiting the trust
I need to save you.
It’s much easier to push away than to get close,
But still I choose to stay.
I know I may not look like much,
All small and powerless in this mighty ocean,
But I promise you can count on me
To help let you go, to help set you free.

Interesting symbolizm there, although kind of shrouded at first. Nice play on emotions, and ditto everyone else. Great job!

*stunned silence* wow...this is very nice. It kind of pulls on your heart a little, since it gives of a vague but present feeling of sadness. Although its not long or uses an immense amount of description, the feeling and mood is portrayed extremely well. Amazing how much little can do. Absolutely one of the best poems I have read. *POPS*

wow....What inspired you to write this? I am so curious as to what this "person" is. I like it just the way it is though. It really gets the reader thinking... Very nice. ~ann

Good... Although, "unsure of me" doesn't sound write and you wrote "to push away that get close" instead of "push away than get close"... Still, very good... Your poems have taken on a life of their own! *poppity pop*
