The sea has moved to disengage from the contrary shore and the idle hands of man twiddling thumbs instead of love underneath the moon … and the stars; there are stars dancing wisdom to the wise high above the waves rolling, rolling, rolling, in the throes of loneliness. Yes, the sea has disengaged to let the people be content to witness from afar the turmoil of her being but strong today, a tidal wave, the turn around of love, takes a backward look ... and the shells; there are shells smoothed by memories delivered and embedded into love’s eternity as a test and a measure of foundations laid. A million years have passed since the parting hands but the sea, maybe me, rolls awareness to the shore of a childhood home neglected with the passing … and the tears; there are tears on the current crossing over like the sea looking sideways from the edge of love. The sea, the sea, a way of being, from storm to settled calm waits another million years … but footprints; there are footprints, in the moon’s afterglow un-erased by the sea’s deep emotive waves. The sea and the shore – look again and tell me more for I’m a mind-locked maiden in this touch/withdraw of the sea and shore… and the fear; there is fear that sea to the shore like an irritating bee around honey of the free!

"The sea and the shore – look again and tell me more for I’m a mind-locked maiden in this touch/withdraw of the sea and shore…" Helen  -- you are a poet's poet! Do you know, as I read this, I even felt the rhytm of waves ... and the rise and fall of tide. ......jo |

Helen "A million years have passed since the parting hands but the sea, maybe me, rolls awareness to the shore" No maybe about it, dear one, you roll awareness every time you write...and I for one am greatful! |
