The sea is a flowing gown
diaphanous and filled with light;
behind her subtle movements
a touch of all that was intended
in a moment of extraordinary birth.
Beneath the surface,
within a seed clothed by the fruit
the eminence of all this life will be
when the old hunger dissolves
and the full tide of her presence
floods our souls with the peace
of one desire.
Absolutely wonderful!!!
A beautiful image bringing to mind the beloved, dieing into love, surrendering into all that is.
How precious these words of jewel like quality thank you.
This poem brought tears to my eyes. I know the peace of one desire and it sates me. Thank you for the beautiful imagery of this piece.
Don, just remarkably beautiful. Imagery unforgetable. Thanks for sharing this.
Thanks, Don. Love seeing old hunger dissolve as it always left one wanting more. Once gone, we are satiated with the lack of want…which is peace.
Oneness.
So beautiful! Our mother ocean birth of all. holds deep peace joined to all being. Your poetry so often meditates on the sea.
Having just spent a week on the shore of my beloved Sea, I hear her invitation to me to be, again, in your words. Thank you.
