Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart Poet Rhyme

Body of Sea

Forgive the mind
Its whim and pine
As it bends
To the undertow.

Adrift on this ocean
Of human emotion;
Of chemical 
Ebb and flow.

The tides are preset,
Demanding respect. Let
From the body 
The mind explore;

An outstretched hand
Will find the sand,
To carve sanity
On the shore.




circa 2005
