Poem: "Ocean Heal Me" by Susan Beacon

It took me a while to figure out what type of supernatural poem I wanted to do. Then I realize what can be more supernatural than holy water. I choose Holy water because I believe that holy water represents purity, happiness, and strength. As a result of that I used google.com as a search engine and found my poem from this link http://www.ahintofseduction.com/poetry/1328.php).

Poem: “Ocean Heal Me”

Ocean heal my wounds
Let your waves curl and foam on my body
Wash away blood, heal scars

Ocean renew me with your power
As unceasingly you roll
Giving strength that's been drained

Ocean keep me warm
Wrap me in your brine
Caress me with your tides

Ocean disperse my tears
As they flow in you
I cleanse my soul

Ocean let me grow in your depths
Color me vibrant blue, coral, green
Clear = revitalized

Cool and refreshed
My spiritual renewal

Ocean be my friend
Hold me flowing in your currents
Ever moving, ever changing

Ocean, heal me.

By: Susan Beacon


Interpretation

This poem seems to be about a trouble woman suffering from losing a love, and she basically asking the ocean which she believed to be her saver for strength, and comfort to help her to be free of being in so much pain. The “line ocean heal my wounds” prove how the guilt and the pain is eating her up alive in the inside because she can’t seem to cope with the lost of losing a love one. The ocean is referred to as God. I can relate to this poem because it reminds me of the time I lost faith God which was the worst time of my life. As a result of losing my faith I couldn’t feel any sense of happiness, I lost my courage and a part of my soul was destroyed.
