On Terra Firma In ITQ

The ocean's a drum fault and sheer; to me, breakout from dark, this sphere, that the sunk water lapsing veers — hours of footprints away from here, Missing this density timeless with each sanddollar I will wreck, for today I'm also in shreds — in the foam, this form, it lays death. Like as the deep deep, her I love, and I loved still, her back to run — her buoy pushed under, then gone, only passing wind in seagulls This kiss in and out seamouth's tide — on water, moon's curled by her side.

Paige your poem greatly moved me; the grief described is tangible yet subtle - a paradox that is rare to see. You have a true gift, pal.

Dear Paige, As I read I really felt your words flow like a haunting tide, carrying the weight of love, loss, and longing. Each line I could feel the pull of the ocean, powerful, inescapable, and beautifully melancholic. Stunningly evocative Paige. Winter Blessings, My Dear Friend, Daniel

Lovely poem delves into themes of love, grief, and the fleeting essence of existence, employing ocean imagery to represent emotional depth and relational complications. Well done Paige
