Christina Romero Vacas Poet Blank verse

White Islands In a Blue Sea

I close my eyes and remember

Lying down, watching clouds,

Where grass tips lightly touch me

With sensations that are somewhere

Between tickling and irritation;

And the air’s heavily sweetened

By fresh growth scented Summer;

And sunshine envelops me

In warming blankets of light.



White islands in a blue sea

Pass in front of me floating.

Sense of position and distance

Are lost in the possibility

Earth’s turned on its side

And only consciousness of gravity

Prevents me stepping forward

And dismisses the notion

I can walk towards the sky.

Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
