Such a small motion...

A wave before the final turn
of your goodbye.

And the night is split by the
intimate grace of your
hand.

There are two sides to my
infinity.

To suffer in your absence...and this
longing that binds us in the
confines of forever.

Such a small motion...

A wave on the edge of
infinity.

infinity.

And if we are fortunate,
sometimes we splinter
into more.

Always an enjoyable read, your words.

I agree with Nancy!  I know I'm always in for a sigh when I read your words.

Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you.  Joy is a state of mind.

What an intimate, interesting look at a wave.

Beautiful write!

A gesture, seemingly insignificant and largely ignored by most... and you, you see the deeper, beautiful meaning held in such a gentle movement.

There is wisdom and beauty in all things.

How beautiful... thanks for sharing.

I love you,

Moca

Very well said Eric....a wave has such
strength and power to it,  though being
so subtle and short an expression.  

Many a tear has walked away with the sight
of a wave enduring with one's mind.

Eric,
  Especially liked your last line, "a wave on its way to infinity"!  A wonderful interpretation...

Much enjoyed the gentle roll and brilliant white water.

I hope you find your peace between the tides, and rise above.

Lovely poem, Ericc~

You are the infinity
beckoning
from every star
and I move
within your confines
mixing tears and smiles
in the quiet knowing that
the final gift of the night
will be the splendour of dawn
with its embrace of light.


That little gesture was very inspiring.
So very beautiful!
I love you.
