Air across the water:
A wave.
Voice across time:
An echo.
Stillness, silence:
No story,
No conversation
Between then and now.
Troubled waters are a blessing;
They lap against cold stillness to say
We are here. We are alive.
We are alive.
Breath across water:
Call it a beginning
Call it a story
Perhaps a new
Word. A new word:
Yours. Mine.
Feel your pulse.
Feel the echo.

Sandy, my posting is up - I didn't see your comment until just now.
ReplyDeleteA really beautiful poem, Sandy. I like these images, which are so soft, so undefined and at the same time full of feeling.
ReplyDeleteI loved this and I completely understand. I feel the same with trees. When I look at their swaying crowns and the sound the leaves make in the wind, I feel what you describe here...
