A Hidden Message?

I wrote this poem when I was going through something with someone and I think it can be kind of self explanatory. There are two ways to read it. One is left to right and the other one is....... well....... you figure it out :o)

Waves
You remind me of beautiful waves
Coming in on the sandy floor
Raging so strong, so powerful
All over the awaiting shore

Never ceasing to surprise me
Diving in and hitting so strong
Your inconsistent beauty confuses me
I wonder if I’m often so wrong

And just like the calm peaceful lakes
Mimicking waves subside and the current is slow
Hearing the soft ocean breeze
Enters a fear deep within below

A fear too often recollected
Responding to the calm waters I see
Triggering tears from our past
Breaking the heart within me

Rocks skidding across the waters
Over the stillness of your being
Keeping me at an arms reach
Entertaining yourself free willing

Never to question what it is I feel
Or bother to say where you’ve gone
The waves remain steady with silence
Like you, they remain so calm

However, before I know it
The waves rage again
I over indulge in your sweetness
As the waves start coming in

Such beautiful sounds blanket my ears
I resist the urge and try to transcend
Seeking the courage to say
This needs to stop and it needs to end.

This other piece I wrote while sitting on a cliff watching the ocean and feeling the breeze across my face. Sometimes I feel like there's a higher power in the world that can guide you and give you signs that everything is going to be ok. So from that moment, I wrote this poem: Colors

From The Gray

Have you ever listened to the wind
Have you ever heard its haunting call
Do you let it catch your tears
Or do you just let them fall

If you close your eyes for a bit
You can hear what it wants to say
It may confuse you at first
But you’ll see colors from the gray

Thanks for reading :o)

Hi Nina!
I LOVED THE POEMS! I wish I could write like that. I read them as soon as you told me you posted them but, i didn't get a chance to post a comment. I didn't know how to get the hidden message. The poems were beautiful though. Can't wait for your next post!!
