his voice
grew fingers
through the phone
and stroked me in my satin

his voice
left lingers
of alone...
remembering "forgotten"

a gentle wash
of wave on sand
smoothing my
rough pattern
waves of future
circumstance
erasing
rings of Saturn.

Hills
were built
by buckets filled--
he washed them all away...
Spills
of silt
by buckets filled--
he dragged my memories to grave.

Bits of me
grain to the sea
smoothing
settling my sand--
epiphany
of "used to be"
by simple wave
of "understand..."

by crash of wave upon my shore--
I understood the need of "more..."

YAY!!! Oh my gosh, I just love the way you rhyme, sweet friend, it seems so easy the way you always do it and it flows so smoothly as if it just came out all at once rather than being forced! (kiss on cheek) This is fantastic, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Karen, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
