Brumal mist ... Crawls o'er the spindrift White hats and bobbing buoys Nod to me in affirmation ... Oh, Calypso ... So calculable and sure Stir me as the sand, soft Gather me to the briny abysm ... Deep, dark and close ... Reticent and cosmos cold Made sustenance for creation With Terra, forever federated ... Immortal ... But for the edacious Ocean of suns, heavenward Aliment for an infinite expanse ... Amaranthine. ~ 1st Place ~ in the "Strand Special 5, Any form, Any Theme" Poetry Contest, Brian Strand, Judge & Sponsor.

stunning, this longing for the "briny abysm", where relief is found in belonging in the timeless beauty of the tides "infinite expanse", my weary soul recognizes this longing for release. Your words flow with meaning and connectedness in a beautiful picture, thank you for sharing.
