Notes About The Poem

Return to me

by: Dan Gerhartz

Island

The clear celestial sky, so inviting this night. Walking among the clumps of marram grass Along the dunes and sandy beach, so lit up white Wind embraces the seas briny scent and weaves into auburn long wavy hair, a playful tangled mass, and dress like ship-sail; skin tight. The sweet silhouettes lit bright by the moon. I watch her from a far as she walks along the beach. She has become an island of sadness. A recluse in darken world and countless enclosing nights as the world runs aimless. 3/2/2023
