INCOMING WAVES



Your words wrap around
my soul
like the incoming waves
from a far away sea:
infiltrating the pores
of the shore and saturating
the crevices that have been wounded.


There is an intricate aura
that calms the shaking
caused by previous rages
of undertows!


I immerse myself and the
BLUE WATER
slowly drips down,
engulfing and cleansing:


first my brow
erasing any signs of
discontentment or worry:
drops of sea salt collect
on the lobes of my ears


and the lavishness
of symphonies
sweep through the
canals.


The waves rise up
grasping my torso with
such fierceness,
I shudder uncontrollably--


causing me to give into
the calling of a
far away sea...
