Tide Ink Memory

Brush moves through time,
Ink bleeds like ancient tides,
Breath held in lines,
Silk remembers,
Ancestors speak through each stroke,
The sea keeps their names.

Exquisite and powerful shadorma, Akinola. Each line feels considered and controlled, yet filled with meaning. Silk remembers is an unusual image, yet conveys the meaning that natural fibre is part of life. Superb offering here. Well done. Keep writing and sharing., Ghairo.
