tides

We're a lot like
the ebb and flow
of the tide:
I am the water,
you are the sand.

Sooner or later,
I'll come back to you.

I always do.

I wish, then,
that I could drown the moon
in my saltwater.

That way maybe -
just maybe -
my seas will calm
and I won't reach
for the touch of your hand
anymore.

Very Taoist! I love the comparisons to natural things.

I respect you a bit more as a writer after reading this! (not like I didn't before). But I vote you continue with this style a lot, Sara Teasdale-esque!

Glad you enjoyed it. :) Will have to look up Sara Teasdale as I'm currently unfamiliar with her and her work.

She's very easy reading and I find very accessible.

I've had a quick wee look and I'm enjoying what I've read so far! Thanks for the recommendation!

Oh I have dozens more up my sleeve!
