I wish I could tell you
my spirit
was wealthy

I’m more like a bottle you tip
and then
pour

You are the river that runs
in my body

I am the ocean waves
lapping,
your shore

I want
to enrich you
with all, my
belonging

Filling your purse till it
bursts
at the seams

All of the sin in our shadow
is, spawning

All of our silence is
muffled
by screams

And so I continue
to grip
to the water

Driving my fingertips
deep
in the swells

A moment unheard
is led, to
the slaughter

The ocean is filled up
with feelings,
that fell

You are the meaning of
all
of the ages

You are that whispering windsong
that flew

Out in the middle of all
these blue pages

Timeless desire, means
wading
for you

The ocean is filled up
with feelings,
that fell
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

So eloquently penned, your words are a wave of emotions, making it hard to breathe.

I also loved loved loved your closing lines, as if one is hesitant to wade any further
and yet the windsong is a warm caress that lingers long in the breeze.  Thanks for this timeless treasure.

Oh Lori I’m so glad you enjoyed it.. the title was inspired by two words in a reply someone recently wrote to one of my scribbles.. as was the rest of the piece..

Yes such things as wistful breaths upon the waves can imbue lingering respect and lasting fondness..

Thank you for always being there.. I hope our friendship wades for all times in the billowing swells..
