Swimming with Sea Turtles


You warmed me with the pictures
in your mind
A vision created with the paint brush
of your words
And I felt the sun kiss my sandy skin
and I remembered the nibble
of the Sea Turtles

I swam in the cove, even though I can't swim
Did I tell you that?
Freckles brushed the bridge of my nose
White sands dusted me as I dozed

And, I remembered that which I have never known

"And, I remembered that which I have never known"

This line alone warms a poet's heart.  If words can create channels to the avenues of the mind we seldom explore and beyond, then the pen is truly mightier than the sword.

Your poetry reminded me of a diving boat I was on in Turkey stopping to see one of these magnificent creatures.  Just the sight of them brings feelings of memories lost somewhere in time...

Your poetry is magical. I not only read your descriptive imagery, I see and feel them!

"And, I remembered that which I have never known"

~ This line holds an extra-special meaning for me.
