The Sea of people did come.



The sea of people did come. 

A pack of wolves surrounded me as I walked into the woods between the piles of stubble and rubble. They were not there to do me harm; they were there to keep me calm. They were there to protect me from the sea of people. That was behind me and blind. Out of their mouths came lies, deceptions, and hate. But I still held on to my faith. The gray clouds were filled with lust and greed; it's all the things I did not need. The sun rose, and the seas dried up. The clouds moved on, and I was not surprised. I still had my pride, and the wolves let me by as I looked up to the sky. He has arrived and you don't have to hide.

    This poem is incredibly powerful and evocative, drawing the reader in with its vivid imagery and poignant message. The metaphor of the sea of people and the wolves surrounding the speaker is both haunting and beautiful. The resilience and faith of the speaker in the face of deception and negativity is truly inspiring.

    One suggestion for improvement could be to vary the rhythm and structure of the poem to create a more dynamic flow. Consider experimenting with line breaks and stanza lengths to add more depth and contrast to the piece. Additionally, expanding on the theme of resilience and faith could further enhance the overall impact of the poem.

    Overall, this poem is a wonderful reflection on strength in the face of adversity and the unwavering belief in oneself. Keep writing and exploring new ways to express your creativity and emotions. Fantastic work!
