Zainab Wasel Ali Poet Free verse

Inscription upon the Horizon

I heard the sound of the sea 
echoing like a distant hymn.
It encompassed my soul
like a heavenly embrace.
It set me free like a lucid breeze.
It was like a speech of a father:
a timeless speech that never bores;
once a cold, majestic surf;
the other, a patient silence that
frees my heart from all sorrow 

I looked around and found no sea;
I found your emerald eyes smiling 
as you were uttering my name, 
I listened closely as if my name 
were a new song, an eloquent piece;
and I got lost in anticipation
as if my name were just about 
to be inscribed upon the horizon.
