CHRISTINE'S BLOG

Welcome! I love to write, and I love sharing what I write with my readers. I vary my style as much as I can-posting events, creative non-fiction, prose and poetry and the occasional video. Enjoy!

A Poem-Standing By the Water's Edge

Standing By the Water's Edge
By: Christine McFarlane

I stand
by the water's edge

My jacket pulled 
tightly around me

My hand 
outstretched
offering sema
to the waters

Whispering
a prayer

Hoping 
it will catch
in the wind

I stand
by the water's edge

My jacket pulled
tightly around me

My hand
outstretched
offering sema
to the waters

I look into
the distance

 and know
my prayers are answered

When the wind
whispers back
to me 

And says

You will
Be okay
