The Rose that grew from the Sea
Here is a poem I wrote inspired by Jhene Aiko. For my poem series I’m writing called Rose Microphone.
The Rose that grew from the Sea
Here I am sitting on this beach
as I Iooked out at the sea
a gentle breeze comes and lifts me up
and points me toward an amazingly beautiful sight
A single rose coming from the sea
but as soon as I took a few steps towards it
a voice began singing
So soft but also powerful and soothing
Also filled with so much pain and anger
the closer I got to the rose
the stronger it got
to the point where even the waves
are getting higher
So as I get to the rose
The waves rose so high they almost touched the clouds
As the waves come roaring down
I stood over the rose as to protect it
The wave engulfed me and the rose
While still holding on
to the rose as I passed out
But after a while I came through
On a boat with the rose
a few feet ahead of me
stood a beautiful woman who looked at me
As if she saw my soul
Then she told me these words
Don’t worry
No pressure
Since we are about to Sail Out
