Then She Comes


Sometimes she goes away.
As she says, "We're not
married." so I have no say.

She likes to believe that
she's a geographic traveler,
a citizen of no specific
locality, so she travels
to exotic foreign lands,
and when the wanderers
spirit is satayed, then
she comes back to me.

I may not always "get it" James, sometimes I think too much, but I saw this as a lovely personification of ocean...

and it's been awhile since I've read you, and for that I apologize.

I liked the gentle tone of this, and it left me a bit rippled, like the beach.

Enjoyed.

I guess I had thought it was about a young woman with the heart of a gypsy, but after reading Serenity's reply, I visualize the coming and going of the tides.  Very pretty imagery, inviting interpretation...

I believe this is one of your best.  I'd like to keep it if I may.

Thank you serenity, miscellania, garysgirl and J.Samm for the nice and surprising responses...I wish I could say that I wrote this with the ocean in mind...or with a mysterious double meaning...and I can see the ocean connection now that you have mentioned it...but this was written about a long time friend who is a travel writer...and she loves to travel...and goes at a moments notice...James
