Deep Blue......

Deep blue curls To give me rise into motion Spiritually I glide on a frozen moment in time Atop the power beneath me Softly I walk across her face With cold white hair all around me She sings a song of the universe While we dance only briefly Never to meet again Less I paddle out to find her.

The imagery of this is great. The opening lines are an excellent introduction as it holds so many images (sea, hair, etc). there is a lovely tenderness to it such as the line 'She sings a song of the universe'. the theme shares something with the Stevie Smith poem 'Waving but drowning' but this is far more satisfying.

I enjoyed this poem but am curious but the metaphor of "the cold white hair all around me". I thought it was beautifully written. Randy
