Incessant Waves

As the thin of opal shell is breeched
Sudden sound from empty chest is reached
Incessant are the whispers of the soul
Waves that rise to drag away the fragile shore
Left uneven jagged banks succumb the roar
Numb at first, though the mind as sail survives
Invidious surf of fisted salt spray glass
Where then the sand returns to moat, on midnight’s pass
A hand that sweeps across emotive sea
To clear the mist, uncloak the day intrepidly

I believe if it were not for knowing these times, we would not be able to celebrate the good...

truly magnificant writing, as always

I am particularly fond of:

”Incessant are the whispers of the soul
Waves that rise to drag away the fragile shore...
...uneven jagged banks succumb…”

” Invidious surf of fisted salt spray glass”

“A hand … sweeps across emotive sea
To clear the mist, uncloak the day intrepidly”

wonderful imagery!
