Warm
Wrapped blanket
Salty surge
Forgotten spindrift
Sparkles
Listen, for a clash
Of each traveling wave
Allowing submersion
Inside understanding
An opportunity to contemplate
Yet, still feel you near

My first thought as I looked at the photo was “wish I was there” and then after reading your words I could imagine it so clearly ~

I love the use and nouns and adjectives here and mostly in the first verses… I think you have achieved a wonderful poetic effect in a sort of concise and minimalist way!~ Congrats (once again) Aquileana 😀

Allowing submersion. This reminds me of one of my favorite words: abyss. For it is those depths that we are invited to see, think and breathe clearly. Well, at least for me. 🙂
LikeLike
Abyss…yes, a fine word. There is something utterly calming about being still and surrounding ourselves with what we need to understand, Eric. I find you fascinating and your clarity refreshing. Thank you! 🙂

Thanks, Morgan. There is a love/hate relationship for some who part-time sail…those who sail love it. You need to witness the gleam in a sailor’s eye. It shows quite eaily how they adore the freedom sailing offers. Have a great day.
