Excire: A Prosimetrum of Breath and Drift | PoetrySoup.com

Words captured in amber for all eternity—valued for their unique resilience as the tides of time cannot erode them. Our deeds like skipping stones on water sink in although they go unrecorded; the ripples soon fading from memory, becoming a distorted reflection in a cracked mirror.

tides gather the echoes to be expelled in a sigh
   a melancholy

reaching the sandcastles of desire
     an undercurrent
                       dragging the dreams out to sea

fading with time
     r.i.p.p.l.e.d  dreams
             like   R I L L S   on   the   breach …

extending a hand in friendship
being the rock in someone’s life
           leaves one with a sense of 
           PURPOSE
                           as tidal excire exhales …
