She is Tide

Upon the strand of possibility,
promises writ on her body of sand
are diffused with each cynical tide
of incredulous ambiguity.

Her azure eye of cornsilk sky
blinks in idle scrutiny,
unworded words dismissed
as easily as writ words on sand fill.

Her tide, the epitome of languid obscurity,
erases each lessened confession
until too, this supplicant gazes out
and slowly rakes the sandy strand.

Excellent, Alicat. The tide of life can, and does erase our futility.

Well, hello there, Mr. Cat! *S* It's good to see you posting! I passed through your area earlier this month... after an afternoon spent with the tide. *S* And now I know why it wasn't giving me poems... It was saving them for you! *S*

Ah yes, but isn't it grand to live in this time, and especially along the coast of Texas. Even if times get bad, it's best to be where you are. I sure do miss the salty air, sea birds, and the friendly people.

Enjoyed your "She is Tide".

Wow... nice to see you Ali, and as powerful as ever I see. Been feeling alot like sand being manipulated and reshaped by an immense tide myself of late. You symbolism in this is remarkable. This made my morning.
