Jeanne Mcgee Poet Free verse

More Than a Thread

I’m connected to this place by more
Than a thread
Reasons that hold me in glad
Captivation
The tangy saltiness I taste lingering
On my lips after
Time spent on the beach
It’s the siren song of my being

I’m connected to this place by more 
Than my fingertips
Solidly planted amid friends and creation
Folding my negative space
Into positive harmony
The sirens singing my song

I’m connected to this place with more
Than my longing
For when I leave, I am sad
While away
I yearn for the sand under my feet
The waves pounding music
Awaking incarnate
To the singing of my siren song
