Poem
Young like April, winds Settling in the limbs of oaks, Just past the crisp whisper Cerulean drifting, tides Graceful seas reminding me to Listen as secrets poured Past the graceful, splashing on sands Lingering in the stillness, quietly Praising in sprays of reassurance, Silhouettes dancing… Preventing me from smiling The unsympathetic waves – cold Like winter, plaguing my Thoughts, splattering my ankles With desperate mysteries, Arising from the foamy feelings, Rushing across the beach – surging Like history, in the silence Freeing my heart to breathe in Darkness that succumbed to the Colorless flow of melancholic Currents, bleeding detached doubts Emotionless memories – color me Blind by the hues of indignant Dreams, blurred over April’s Toes as she tiptoes across the beach During a spring thaw, When everything – everywhere Is icelike, frosty – flurries Kissing away the joy of arriving At the beach before the hassled Vacationers begin to descend On the Atlantic, where I found the Chill to bring me a sense of peace Like the warming of the sands Never had in the past, on shores Like a prayer, ascending To be heard by the blesser The miracle worker, the One Who created wind and sea, And everything that remembers All the spring breaks – living Inside of me, memorized By my senses, the pictures Never taken, but not forsaken By my recollection of shared History, the quiet – stardust moments When light faded into a promise, And the seas taught me to believe Even the coldest water…. can feed my dreams!
