the Andaman sounds and resounds it plays its soul music it sings songs of lone gods that emerge from her one by one they appear gods of fine silk stone like ghosts that whisper to the sleeping in the shape of dark angels and silver dreams but i do not sleep the ginger cat cradles his woes and i am like a blind fish eyes wide open and Koh Yao Noi is my reef i drown in this sky begging to forget hands that did not reach hands that did not touch this is the way life is burning with dreams i gather the first light it rises like a bell of grapes bearing its blood-red wine chasing the shadows away scattered pink like a hundred tiny crabs beneath its first ripened stomp and gifts me with shells and pebbles picked by her waves. Koh Yao Noi - An Island which lies in the Bay of Phuket in Southern Thailand Phuket pronounced Pooh-ket ~i want for myself your trembling~ |

Written as if, you bent, and picked up one of those magical shells, held it to your ear...and the sounds that came out were the words of this poem... excellent poetry-enjoyed -----------ice ><> |

I can't possibly say it any better than Ford did! Excellent imagery here Maree, just fantastic! To see real beauty you must look with your heart. |
