The surf pounds against cliff. I beat my pillow moaning. You are gone, your heart of stone not swayed by my tears. Onoko*-san, the bringer who has seeded my garden, return like the sea otter through the waves to me. *onoko is the Ainu word for man

Very somber but beautiful, Debbie. For some reason, it reminds me of Puccini's opera, 'Madame Butterfly." Best wishes for the contest. Hugs, Sandra

Excellent, Debbie! An emotive call coming from deep within; a contrast between the turmoil in the heart and the pounding waves. // #7 // paul
