flirting with Conviction
By disposable
if you just stand before the ocean
where water meets earth
where wet mingles with dry
the place where opposites dance
and mix in the purest of beauty
you might find the courage
whether you face the shore with the hills to climb
or whether you place your eyes on the signifigance
of the rising sun
answers will come to you
all that is lost or forgotten
all that is new or yet to be
will be before you
and influence will call it a day
i promise you with the nobility of fathers
and the convictions of mothers
that life will be worthwhile
that smiles will have meaning
and lies will roll away
if you dare to stand before the ocean
where water meets earth
where wet mingles with dry
the place where opposites dance
and mix in the purest of beauty

Wonderfully inspirational. I am particularly fond of the third stanza. Nicely wrought.
