Body To Water It began levitated in the palms, then tossed in cascading fingers Surfing white wishes, in battle with my alter ego Rising up in crest high, moving raw power in one artful sigh The part of me Satan purely spied before his fall Merely so small a thing, adrift in tidal mercy An instant cool, that abated even the sun’s rays to think rain Turning me over, in bronze and afterglow blue Another gulp, the child in me just duckling dunk over wave Taken all in, every breath and every moment Until, finally, given in to hunger, let loose of raft Untied my heart from the waters of this thriving place And jello-legged, my stumble took me into shore One last glance at playground perfect’s spin again How blessed this beach, that calls me out into its reach Into its roar and reign, all commanding of extremes, both joy and pain And how very blessed am I, to have made time just the same Copyright Kkh 7/14/08 |

I agree with XGX - your poems should always be read several time (at least once aloud!)always savored for their content, beauty and depth of understanding. Eric |
