This is beautiful.Reminds me of "Splendor in the Grass".
Is it autobiographical?
Did you think you caught Jesus?
I almost had him once...
Lost him under a clump of seaweed.
But then I thought...
Eh.. better just let him be.
Thats when he swam right to me.
Okay, not really.
But that would be sweet!
Really...
I'm just sittin on the dock of the bay..
playing with my pole...
People closing up their shutters tell me a storm's coming.
I see the clouds, but there's still some blue...
I'll take my chances and enjoy the rest of the day.
I never did mind a walk in the rain.
It was the walk before the rain I never could manage.
blah...
Beautiful poem, though.
Thank you for it!
