Title 3/ Air

1st place in the contest

~ Live in the sunshine, swim the sea, drink the wild air. ~ (Ralph Waldo Emerson) The melody of the air plays in our hearts sailing on the high seas Sailors stories from a bygone era In lapping ripples to the raging waves of the harbor wind When the wind is strong, the light turns white Oh, you blessed air on your sightless wing As a cry capable of proclaiming itself lethal injections When air is slowly dying of toxic particles in polluted air Highlights an urgent situation minute by minute The lost sunshine without sparks, scratches and wounds Cannot be restored The disaster is complete synonymous with death The air is as kisses you didn't realize you longed for

A lovely poem, Anne-Lise. It's worthy of a top win. I most especially like the line, "The air is as kisses you didn't realize you longed for." Congratulations.

The essence of the prompt so well captured, Anne-Lise. Amid nature there is much joy as you so well convey in this poem. Yet, we must be mindful to protect it.

your poem was beautifully written, Anne-Lise. Blessed air--we do take it for granted with putting toxic particles in it...I shudder when I think about the impending 'air' disaster. Well done for the contest. Best wishes, hugs, Sara

- Many thanks for your comment ... yes, we take clean air for granted, Sara ... but, unfortunately, it is not as clean as we think - hugs
