in this harbor

 

My heart harbors in the dunes of this time.
With the ease of crossing water I touch
the curved memories of your life,
a lighthouse that beams brightly.
Although the ocean is dark,
the sea hungry and spitting foam,
my heart is guided by one light.
I leap angled mounds of rock
uplifting my arms in salted wind.
The sea brings your aura
to the dark beach again.

makes me want to go there again just to see it all, this is soooo lovely.

Short and very sweet. I like the entire work. The natical way of bringing the shore to earth. Great image. I though in a few places that it was repetitive but still held its own through. Good read.

what else is there to do in the dark but leap. ... there is courage here.

A lovey recollection.. the images of the sea creating a feeling of wildness and distance... and yet the aura remains...

Can something be uplifting and heartbreaking at the same time?
