songkran, a word-pressed into the soul

daydream
and infuse the soul --

unlock the nourishments
of time,

and swim
with ocean's renewal.

    ah the subsconscious at work...
    i just love the image

    truly dreamy and lucid

    it's like you're in a place like paradise
    and you don't ever want to leave

    Thank You!!

    Thank You for Your entry: songkran, a word-pressed into the soul
    This piece tugged hard at Spirit and while I was reading which I did several times~ I kept seeing words: clam shell...lobster tail-
    and believe it or not, Louisiana for some reason~
    when I read Your words again~ I was shown images of the tsunami from years past and then Hurricane Katrina-
    Now while inhaling Your verse~ kept getting this feeling of panic whether something happened at the time this was written or something reoccurring- almost like an attack but getting word:
    controlled~
    Seeing Baby Beluga whales as if there is a kinship- with their symbolism
    Hopefully that makes sense
    Powerful images You have brought forth

    These words grabbed and pulled~
    unlock the nourishments of time,
    Magnificent Voice spoken~

    Thank You for sharing Your Heart also Spirit!
    Best wishes to You in the contest Sweet Soul
    **Judging will be done shortly...
    Many blessings too
    and much love~ Desire~*~~*~

    I was thinking of Hughes when he wrote "hold fast to dreams for if dreams die life is a broken-winged bird that can not fly"... This is beautiful and filled with deep meaning.
