Midnight Pass I remember, you said I was too emotional maybe it is that I feel too much but better than feeling nothing I run to the gulf when I feel too much or spaces between me find themselves empty so there is no notice of the salt I find myself there again on Midnight Pass mingling from recent commotion out at sea in raging storm a disturbance to penetrate a soul new water flowed to this shore from a place distant stained black sand feet wandered the beach bag in hand searching my bones for bones that the gulf threw out in rage cleaning out the cellar floor forced treasures at my feet purple banded tulips, olives murex, conk, and jewel boxes I went to the shore so empty and left smiling with more beach flowers than I could carry "no darkness has ever been deep enough to extinguish my personal knowledge of love" Anne Rice |

1slick_lady, There is a primordial attachment of all human life with the ocean. It’s useless to resist it. Nice work on this poem. Bobby |

Simply lovely. This just was the perfect ending, I believe. I went to the shore so empty and left smiling with more beach flowers than I could carry Sometimes the lovely things in life, the most simple, the smallest gifts heal our insides. I love the beach - I love the empty, stormy, beach-grass-blowing beach. Alison |

Helen you fill your work with tiny gems sparkling and amazing "I run to the gulf when I feel too much or spaces between me find themselves empty so there is no notice of the salt" |
