In Your Poetic Mind

i   Crossing the still

   Just empty rooms
facing the sea
a thin line of haze

A bit of color:
  the tide
skims the green blades;
  lonely willows touch softly
the wind   and water

a thirst for drink

How autumn looks different
  when intertwined
with dangling
moonlight   and
forming thunderstorms

Our passion known to
   sunsets and
horizons  seemingly
endless

  Naked eyes
searching for musical
words  of    psalms


Did we know the fire
     clouded the glass
or did we watch the storm
cascade  the dawn
--
In an empty boat
  we lost each other:
the sea glass shattered    

     ripples--
will mark the headstone;

   { my faith in words-he escaped
      all definition,   with the eye of my
understanding}



ii  The night made its gentle
                 transition
answering   a theory to practice

  silence surrounded  
     the island


your shoulders have kept  steady
     as you


                   d  r   i  f   t   e  d,


iii      I   Watched


The ocean looks like a thousand diamonds strewn across a blue blanket
I lean against the wind pretend I am weightless and in this moment I am happy

Ripples are but a sign of time, time moving from then to what may be .....
and sea glass, broken or not , reflects your souls beauty ....
simply remarkable!!!

I love a good image filled poem but yours is exceptional and I am in awe of the visions you paint and still manage to surge our minds and eyes with such powerful emotions.  Superb piece of writing and I love the way you broke it up into 3 acts.  

Make sure you recognize love as the gift it is and not a need that is out of focus
