Driftwood

~ a scribble of love ~

art ~ Elzbieta Mozyro

 

 

 

Weathered, weary

half full of light…

 

you surrounded me with an ocean

soft with kisses,

                 warm with sand

and healed the place once tattered

with pastel reveries

        of skies in lavender and blue silk

 

Where seabirds sang

above graceful tides

and I was afloat

 

~ drifting in an ocean of the sweetest poetry ~

 

And when I fought with the wind

my soul prepared for flight

 

       you surrounded me with an ocean

                                     soft were the kisses, warm was the sand

Wow, such a stunning piece! The title is what really drew me to this and as I read it...I couldn't help but realize that I often envision being loved as being surrounded by an ocean, the rocks, sand, warmth. The imagery really packed a punch with this and it flowed beautifully. It tells such thoughts and the picture above, when I looked at it longer after I was finished reading this piece, it made me think of a woman who is waiting on the rocks for her lover to return to her. Perhaps he swam out somewhere in search of help and promised to come back for her. Seeing her walk along the rocks, seeing the waves crash a ways before, it takes an aim at your heart for her. What must she be feeling? Is her lover ever to return to her, scoop her up and shower her with the kisses she once received long ago?

the repetition works so well here, like the repetition of waves surrounding the speaker with love.

This brings me back to a lovely memory of mine in October 2010 in St. Augustine, Florida with the love of my life at the time, my beloved Spencer Allen.

Beautiful work! Very vivid!

You picked and described a picture perfect setting as a metaphor for romance in soft and muted tones. It's perfectly lovely Jewell.
