    Belonging

    by John Trent

    Rolling whispers through the shifting dunes

    And the golden oats dance,

    Swaying on autumn’s salty and gentle breezes

    Ever ancient and ever rhythmic the swells rise and fall

    With white crests returning to touch the shore

    And undulating lines of sea foam chase a graying gull

    I belong to this emerald green vastness

    For it owns my soul

    All mighty ocean, cleanse my spirit

    Take me as I am……

    For my feet have felt the very essence of your sand

    I have walked your silky shores for untold miles

    And pondered and contemplated my very existence

    Now…. With deep lines etched upon my darkened face

    I stand within the shallows of your surf

    With the Sun drenching and kissing my being

    My eyes remain closed, yet I can see its brilliance

    Feel each shimmer……

    Sense each and every ray of warmth…..

    And a calm envelops,

    Sending my mind adrift on the returning tide

    I cannot recommend this poem enough. It's so simple, yet so complex. And it is about belonging. About giving your heart to someone.

    [i carry your heart with me(i carry it in]

    BY E. E. CUMMINGS

    i carry your heart with me(i carry it in

    my heart)i am never without it(anywhere

    i go you go,my dear;and whatever is done

    by only me is your doing,my darling)

    i fear

    no fate(for you are my fate,my sweet)i want

    no world(for beautiful you are my world,my true)

    and it’s you are whatever a moon has always meant

    and whatever a sun will always sing is you

    here is the deepest secret nobody knows

    (here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud

    and the sky of the sky of a tree called life;which grows

    higher than soul can hope or mind can hide)

    and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart

    i carry your heart(i carry it in my heart)
