Dusk paints gold bars between pylons
in a flash of green

Comical bulbous silhouettes
bulge in aging barnacle houses

Sunrise - the whoosh of womb
lulling to slower beats

no people-sounds rupture rapture

lost ones rolled burrito-style into dunes
until the flies come to play

mist-sand-gulls swirl in booming chorus

and scrolls in bottles sleep in red tides.

"and scrolls in bottles sleep in red tides"

what words would be written and stowed to float away..and what wisdom or heartache would we learn?

as always Cor... you do it well...
very well

I like the picture you've painted in this one. Nicely done.

Corinne~

'no people-sounds rupture rapture

Did ya' know I could just hear the hush ?

Lovely, lovely~

Were I to find your scrolls
in a bottle awash on the shore
I'd know a contented poetess-in-thought
left a message of beauty
forevermore~

You are a lovely, lovely read, my friend~

I love piers.
I spent countless hours in my youth, gazing at the sea, fishing for the truth.
I wish I was on one right now.
Looking at the waves below. The wind in my face. Lost in the moment of life, and natures secrets.
And all things, enticing and wondrous...

Very Inspiring Corinne!

Thank You,
Richy

Your palette is full today...
and the answer to one of your recent queries?
Put your name in that column...

(smiles) Yay! Oh Corinne, I just love the dazzling imagery in this, sweet friend, you make more than messages in bottles wash out from the colorful tide but bubbles and sunlight as well, yay! (kiss on cheek) God Bless You, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Corinne, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
