All Deviations


The wind blew, chilly again,
Salty, crisp, it rang in my ears,
The old man sitting on a seaworn bench
I was a bad friend.

Small crabs moved in the dunes' tiers,
Under new weight, the boards wrenched,
There we sat, two distant men,
I was a bad friend.

A lone gull waits, hovers,
Drifting along, in solidarity,
So did we in our parity,
The crabs crawl to cover.

The shadows twist, slowly,
We knew this wasn't the end,
I was a bad friend.

And Shepherds we shall be.
For thee, my Lord, for thee.
Power hath descended forth from Thy hand,
That our feet may swiftly carry out Thy command.
So we shall flow a river forth to thee
And teeming with souls shall it ever be.

Wow. Short, the words crisp, and simple yet moving images. I only wish I understood the meaning of the poem more than I do. Really I am curious, what does 'I am a bad friend' have to do with two old men sitting on the beach who 'knew this wasn't the end'? Hmm? I am curious. Well, well done. :)

ya, it is kind of cryptic. I'd love for you to try to figure it out a little more, but if you still can't, send me a note, I'd hate to publicly say the meaning just on the off chance anyone else wants to try to figure it out.

Hint, check the category.

Lol, I still don't know. I'm guessing from your hint, it has to do with a ghost.
