Sea of Life - Revised

As the moon bled into the night, The waves danced with the lilting wind, He stood there remembering her, how their souls merged Like the sand and the sea, She was the flower, he, her perfume, She was the sea nymph, he, her song, She was the breeze, he, her direction, She was the polestar, he, her night sky, She, the butterfly, he, her wings, She, the hummingbird, he, her nectar, She was the silence, he, her voice, She was the poem, he, her words, Together they blended well, Leaving footprints in the sea of life. Originally written on 04.09.2021 as Anacreontic verse, revised on 04.30.2021 to Free Verse

Absolutely stunning writing, Jo. So profound and complex in your imagery, an elegant depiction of two souls intertwined and inseparable. I especially loved 'She was the silence, he, her voice / She was the poem, he, her words'. Fantastic poetry, going in my faves ~ John

No two people are alike and when we merge our lives with another's, we find how much we compliment each other. There were many extraordinary poems in this contest. Congratulations on a well-deserved win! And thank you for supporting the contest. Hugs, Carolyn

So sad that life breaks up such perfect unions --the kind you describe--so well written, Jo.
