dry winds mourn for us
my eyes also dry–just salt
a vanished ocean
but even the tide returns
come–it’s time to start rowing

floating and leaving no trace

It seems the ocean found the lost souls as its tides showed up once again. Quite powerful images here!
Thank you so much. I hadn’t even thought of that connection. π
Tears don’t necessarily flood when one is mournful, but that bitter brine is there. Sad and lovely words.
Thank you.
My comment was pretty pale next to yours. Sorry about that. I really appreciate all the thought you put into every single comment you make. I’ve seen them on your site and I imagine everyone you visit gets great responses too. Most of the time I’m at a loss for what to say. But I do appreciate it.
Oh, good! I may have caught you before Night Night!! No worries, Chuckie. You’re always so considerate. Thank you so much. xo
By the way, Wednesday, the 24th is when you’re poem is going to be featured on SlasherMonster. I can’t wait!
Excellent! I can’t wait either. Especially since I’ve forgotten what it was ! π
It’s called. “In our Box.” π
I could look at my email, but I’ll wait so I can be surprised.
Love the mournful and almost ‘longing for lost souls’ images here β€ Beautifully emotive.
Thank you for stopping by!
I do low the surprising end.. the image of start rowing again rattle my brain in the right way.
Thanks very much.
There is sadness, but there is hope. I like the fact that the speaker did not feel defeated. π
Thanks. For once I let there be hope.
A vanished ocean…I love that. And I like the turn from mourning to a bit of hope. A lovely tanka~
Thank you very much.
