    to put in words

    impossibly soft, your heart,
    so kind, it gathers me so close,
    close enough that my breath

    quiets like the lull of waves
    gently lapping the shore
    that tug me back and forth.

    seagulls sing to me, as i rock
    in a distant lullaby i once heard
    maybe as a child or in another lifetime.

    Nice... I like how your imagery evolves into an emotion one can relate to... thanks for sharing. Joe

    A beautifully crafted gem; a delightful read; a song needing no music…

    watching, waiting, hoping, never noticed, wanting, wishing, believing, patience is needed, one day maybe. (GP) smiles Vincent

    When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.
