The Words

The Words

Until the words
no longer come
the sea will call
the rising sun
and I'll love you
most of all
when the words
no longer come.

the sea will rise
my ashes fall
still you will hear
my last call
and one more time
beneath the sun
the sea will call
the words will come.

Author's Note

Breakfast at the beach produced this one in five minutes. Insight; perhaps...

There is a melancholy loveliness to this love poem. The beach is my favorite spot to write. Inspiration seems to fly through the sea air. Perhaps written in five minutes, but the staccato lines are powerfully emotional. Wonderful work, Barbara. Lydi**

Seems one stanza mimic the other one...
a reasoning of one thought into another....
like a voice --- expressed in a vapor...
and gone again...

Hi Barbara, I liked this. It feels very spontaneous, very light. But at the same time it seems very deep. (I work with elders and this makes me think of some of my older couples I work with)

Hope the words come riding in on a ray of sunlight and talk to you through a shell while your lying on the beach....
