I Wonder

I have written you
poetry in sand
and sat watching
the water carefully
gather each word
gently delivering them
to your shore
did you
feel my hand
in foam and froth
does it cool
the heat of
your ache
I wonder
and I wonder
do you
just view
or do you
wade in
knee deep
then immerse
yourself totally
in my thoughts
to feel
what I feel

Helen,
One of your best! I so totally love this. Excellent the things this does to my heart.

If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again.

Helen, I've wondered the same thing myself.
I do think think that the majority take the
poems to heart and can feel whatever the poet
is writing.
Hugs to you, Lady

This is absolutely WONDERFUL~

I felt the movement of the water, rippling your sand-thoughts to another's shore~
