Born Again

Amnion lulls serenade the waves that meet and greet
Each tumbling pipeline, swelled in silver fingers gripping
Opal knuckles, spread to release the verdicts of Odin
Exhaled, one deep breath gathers dew drops and tears replenished

How shall I express the colors of my thirst, skirted under wide brimmed shade?
My emotions are the waves, rolling forward
Crashing into sandy beaches, thrashing gulps as shoreline reaches
Ink tipped gulls patrol in vain, sun still shining past the rain

Past my tears
I float upon weightless enthusiasm, rasp of throat and empty
Surfing emotional buoyancy, cool and clear
Dunking under curled white fringe, drowning in hope
Save for an intelligent hedge, would I sink

Though turquoise flows along my body
Cool, the touch of related song, on the waves to move along
Away, carry me away from the building surge
To let pass over, the tidal crush in sweet submerge
Sway with me, on tingling toes as quiet goes
Hold me love, upon the sounds of sunset

Exquisitely lush, in true TD fashion.  I believe that you have taken your pain and worked through it to emerge a better, wiser and more beautiful soul.

I always read your work so sloooooooowly to soak up every single word, all of which are are beautiful in sound, meaning and intent - and build a magical whole.
