I saw a glimpse of it;

beneath the bolting ice,
even a sleepy daffodil wakes
when the sun drills thru
its winter casket,

i heard the notes of familiarty,

they may have been sealed
within the sea
you rolled out for me,

enjoying the splash
at the entry steps,
my toes curled delightfully
upon the first introduction,

stretching my stance
when you felt me familiar,
and started to widen for me,

still taking baby steps,
never wanting to shift
the calm of the symmetry,
as i noticed the waves would grow grim
if i started to sprint too fast,

so all is just tranquil now,

and i'll coast at the shallow end,
enjoying the tide trinkets
as the bartering
for your own hesitations,

and so we can dance,
some time when our shadows meet
and leave the tsunami waves
to the more daring ones.

I never quite know how to respond to your poetry.  It's loveliness stuns me.  I like the reflection and peaceful tempo.  (to the library to peak at when having a fast paced day!)

Loved that verse...

always great to read what you write.

Golly goldielocks, love the splash and tranquility.

You gotta watch out for those riptides though,
if you don't swim sideways they'll pull you down before
you have a chance to catch your breath.

Excellent poem, Michele~

So very pretty, in thought and expression.
