Forestalled upon the edge of love
a nameless woman stands
poised and ready, willing,
to experience the air
and feel it blowing blissfully
around her tussled hair.

Not as a feather flies
but quickly, hurriedly,
she descends and welcomes in
the full thrust of memory
to keep her briefly buoyant
on her journey through the air.

Aligned with the wind
and the freedom of belief,
and blanketed with moisture
of passionate release,
she rockets down to ground
too fast to turn around
and anchor herself
to rocks of present times.

But she lands unharmed,
figuratively speaking,
and travels to the sea
intent on swimming free
to an island she can’t see.

She still swims today
and you’ll see her in the waves
thrashing back and forth,
crossing over in the rough,
and bobbing like a cork
in moments of respite.

And the island she can’t see
remains as a dream,
a technicolour dream
on a wide screen,
until she has to turn,
wave a final goodbye,
and sink painstakingly
to the bottom of the sea.

The bottom of the sea;
can it hold an endless dream
and not destroy the element
that made it so to be?

I've always sensed a deep mystery about the bottom of the sea. ENjoyed this.

I too have that sense about the sea - perhaps that's where we come from. Thanks for the read.

There is so much to like about this, Helen.
You had me going and took me there with every single word.

But this is the part I liked best~

But she lands unharmed,
figuratively speaking,
and travels to the sea
intent on swimming free
to an island she can’t see.

I continue to look forward to your Sunday stories
as they always touch upon a very special place within me.

Thank you Lady Day~

Whenever I am near the sea,
I believe the waves talk to me
in crashing upon the shoreline,
they talk about the souls lost
and the depths of an endless sea
filled with lost lover's misery.

I enjoyed this, as I have all of your other fascinating tales, Helen.
