The restless sea of all I feel
stares at the awesome blue
in mind to strip to naked
the body of its soul
and throw aside the veil of time
that hides the love inside.

But in the stretch and reach
of one made physical
no yoga pose can hold
and cosset so the powerhouse
of a lover’s soul ~
and I mourn this circumstance
like a woman separated
from the reason for her being.

Restless sea, oh, restless sea,
look how you ripple smooth
and toss within the need
to be satisfied
while the sky in calm repose
smiles down like to a child
playing hopscotch in a void
of intelligence.

And the sea, the sea of feel,
breathes in, breathes in, you see
and exhales upon a sigh
the shortsightedness of sky!

Helen / 15 September 2006

Helen, you put the 'P' in 'poetess'. This a graceful and exceptionally emotive piece of writing.

"and I mourn this circumstance
like a woman separated
from the reason for her being."

~ You have the ability to bring the reader into your world.

Sending you a loving, comforting hug and a pat on the back for this outstanding display of your talent!

Linda - thank you so much for your supportive comment!  Think you can lift the sea to the sky the way you uplift all who read you?  Bet you can!  
Hugs to you, dear earth angel of light!

This needs a bump up.  I totally agree with Earth Angel's assessment of this....it is graceful and flows so naturally.   ....jo
