Sea Thoughts Close your eyes feel the soft velour fabric of the sky wind whipped with children's glee tunes hushed into the crash of earth water To walk in sand is as elemental as the need to dig holes smooth to shape feel each grain blessed then taken back into the play Down into the bubbled belch of time is where chimera begins and ends The kiss of it perfumes old bones blesses the skin with a thin veneer of flux and flow slow turn of moon like menses of a woman her moods can strip the skin and make man fragile then turn his head until he knows no skin could ever take him there and leave him spent and heaving air then lay him down in pale curve of land ‘til hiss of sun falling in awakes the dark ---------- repost from 7-02...wishing to be at the sea and with this remembering... |

And why not bring it back? ...it's timeless. Beautiful capture of the mood and of the place. I think I recognize the particular beach, just from the shape and heft of this poem, though I may just be imprinting the wishes I had today onto it. Thank you, Martie, you just warmed my evening. ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸ ¸¸ºº> ~~~(¸¸ER¸¸ºº> |

I drove to the beach Saturday, hoping for inspiration... would have done better to just wait for your poem. *S* Absolutely lovely, Martie. S** |

I think I have said this before. The ocean is the only real mother I ever really I had. [This message has been edited by icebox (06-23-2003 12:11 PM).] |

blesses the skin with a thin veneer of flux and flow slow turn of moon like menses of a woman her moods can strip the skin and make man fragile then turn his head until he knows no skin could ever take him there and leave him spent and heaving air then lay him down in pale curve of land ‘til hiss of sun falling in awakes the dark ================================== Your poetry of the ocean soothes me like the waves did. I went to a near by lake this weekend..needing to be by water... yes........ you know. |
