Feels like me tonight… Picture was taken Friday, poem written all the way back in 2005. Wish I had a recent photo of a houseboat, but alas, I don’t. :(

 

Rock Me, Water

by Karen-Maeby McCormick

Written in Oct/Nov 2005, edited on Christmas day 2005, Finished on Dec 27th, 2005

 


I lay on my back looking gracefully up to the sky…

Viewing the stars as closely as I can…

They sparkle and glisten in the dark night.

I’m secretly hoping for a shooting star…

But knowing my luck, I could never be that lucky.

I close my green eyes and imagine

            that I am on the roof of a houseboat.

Just letting the boat rock me back and fourth…

            literally to sleep.

There, then, that’s when I dream of what I really need.

I need something, an emotion, that goes directly to my heart…

Speaking to it – about love, memories, the little things.

I need you to rock me, water…

            and let me see a shooting star.

Prove to me that my dreams have come true.
