Kim Van Breda Poet Enclosed Rhyme

Cravings

CRAVINGS

much of life grows thin
as expectations drop
into ocean-side tides 
where waterlines wane
weary with discontent 

I crave guidance 

chaste dreams ride on an
invisible current of sky
red-threaded tired eyes
bitter with dry summers 
and wet soundless winters

I crave guidance

moments tainted truths
shoreline meditations
absorbed by futile
utterances 
into the sand

I crave guidance

just one single hushed
voice of experience
to counteract my
feigned ignorance
patchwork purchases
beach walk purposes

I crave guidance

before I die…
