Notes About The Poem

Countless Minutes

Melancholy drifts while in paradise,
heart of the wind starts fading, there's no sound
Ocean reflects, the distance in your eyes
being light years away, escape is found

Captivated are the waves, calm of night
echo in the salty air--   ecstasy
Beyond its harmony, this pure delight
seconds flutter, without you here with me

A soul adapts to change, the atmosphere
luscious sunlight, being weightless and free 
With the tempo of beats, you are right here
yet-  you are still light years away from me

Countless minutes dance while in paradise,
Ocean reflects, the distance in your eyes

The loneliness contrasted with the ecstasy of nature is profound. I like "the heart of wind starts fading", and "weightless and free". The tempo of beats - heartbeats? - you are right here. Scintillating.

Yes, there was a lonely touch in the wind- when this was written. Yet, the heart was surround by hope. Beauty and love. Thank you John, for your wonderful comment. ~ Brandy

After I met my wife in mexico we had a long distance relationship. I moved across the country to be with her and 26 years later I am still blessed to be with her. Love bridges any distance. I enjoyed the thoughts your poem brought back to mind.

Heats can be miles apart and still beat as one and yet sometimes hearts together can be light years apart even when spending the night in paradise. I will ponder the words of this beautifully penned sonnet my sweet friend. John
