I sit on a rock.
My boat lies over there on the beach.
I look into the light of the sinking sun,
Have escaped from moist death.

But luck stayed my companion.
It guided me to this bay.
When the keel of the boat brushed the sand,
The gloomy force of the storm died.

Now I sit here in the sun fire.
Thoughts float along foam crowns.
I am happy that I can dream here
Because I got away and was saved.

I see a face in the distance
And smiling I whisper “thanks” towards it.
But then I feel your warmth,
With which I have slept in.
This is my contribution to :iconpoetryvstheworld:'s - Songtober Contest.

I have chosen the song "The One That Got Away" from "Civil Wars". This happened out of different reasons: The only song I have known was "Blood Tears" and the others were all unknown to me. So I took the first. When clicking on the link a picture with a sad smily appeared telling me that the video cannot be displayed in Germany because of some rights missing. Then I tried to listen to a cover by a young girl just to know how the song and the melody goes. The I went over Google Search for the lyrics to know exactly what they sing about.

At last I got it and I like it somehow. Beautiful bittersweet love song.

Apart from that, its a very sweet poem. It reminded me strongly of The Old Man and the Sea... at least thematically... Its a very well written poem, and I have nothing in particular to critique about it... Bravo...
