blessing of the sea…

Like an unpretentious delusion
brings the world
so still & alive
unrevealed
to discover
pure heart
open mind
with glistening kisses
& enhancement

oh beloved
timeless perception
simplicity draws my foolish soul
to a languid balance
where no words are seen
awakening metaphysical
possibilities
existing in the complexity
of blind eyes
nurturing
like a mother
loving like a lover

sup the embodied incense
of direct
surroundings…
illicit love light
demonstrating
an unknowable journey
telling a story
that swims an existence
pretending to be smite
through a semi-aquatic
reflex which
carries compelling
emotional charge
raison d’etre
where sacred fires ignite creation
a new world
richly midwives
re-learning to cherish
a deeply buried
space
which has no person's name.

deeper then life
wrapped in sounds
the pulse drums energy
clarity of one
where moon people
search the grove
waxing a fullness
between sea’s seasons
tells of leaves and grasses
flowing vibrant green
tides to us
in composed breeze
living essence
of our celestial womb
spiraling to rhythms
of natures home
coming as a dancer
where still night grows
eternal flow,
like gentle ripples in the sea
voicing echoes
taunting memory
most passionate reminder
of our will
sketching forth
an implausible truth

we are this formula where visions dance
energies grace…unto this illusion I escape

something with green strings
untied
and salty flavored
just a bit
of dancing too

enjoyed you lady

And I can hear those echoes in every word in this write.
Beautiful, as always, Lee J.

This read as though whispered to me in my mother's womb:

"oh beloved
timeless perception
simplicity draws my foolish soul
to a languid balance
where no words are seen
awakening metaphysical
possibilities
existing in the complexity
of blind eyes
nurturing
like a mother
loving like a lover"

You write the primordial.

Leej - It's always hard to highlight specifics in your poems but I particularly like this :

"oh beloved
timeless perception
simplicity draws my foolish soul
to a languid balance
where no words are seen
awakening metaphysical
possibilities
existing in the complexity
of blind eyes
nurturing
like a mother
loving like a lover"

And, yes, you are still amazing!
