Altering This Landscape

Missing image

 
 

I feel ancient, like the tide.


Time sweeps currents of change

upon my rocky shoreline,

altering this landscape without recompense.

 

Sorrow has claimed these infinite borders of my heart;

I fall into shadows, forlorn.

I felt your tender touch silently surrounding my soul

as I surrendered my tears to the sea.

 

Immersed in wheatfields waving wild 
in a western wind, I imagine

soothing currents surrounding me
with warmth,

a shell echoing with whispers 
of a surging life I never knew.

Love is like that, you know -

unknown terrain that seems familiar,
somehow.


We drift slowly through dreams,

searching for different shores.

    Wow this was deeply gorgeous.
    Such depth that exceeds
    the ocean. I love it from
    beginning to end-
    held my attention
    and at the end,
    I wished for it
    to continue.

    Amazing work hun,
    and best wishes in the contest

    this is a lovely bouquet of words gathered into a sweet song, a generous ballet of beauty and sensuality.

    good luck in the contest.
