I wrote this about a friend whose parents were threatening to permanently separate after many years of marriage. (but they stayed together)
Crumbling
I'm watching your shore
- your foundation -
crumbling away beneath you,
and I'm seeing you swept up in the waves
hope and faith eroding into the tide
the relentless current of the waters
pulling and tugging you down
deeper and deeper into some
unseen abyss,
until you are completely submerged
unable to breathe
no way to reach the land that exists
just beyond your outstretched hands
and I stand here
helpless
useless
without a life preserver.

I always tell my students they shouldn't be afraid to share their writing.....so I decided to stop being a hypocrite. Here is my poetry...
