The wash
bowls us over

 

Lost
underfoot

 

Down-side-up

 

Tumbling through
swaying kelp

whose arms
blindly reach to touch

 

Soft and
abstract

 

Thoughts of
upper-world on hold

till normal
service is resumed

 

Perhaps

 

Fat liquid sounds

ingratiate
and beckon

 

Familiar 

and inviting

 

Presence

overhauls perception

lifting worldly-weariness

and leaving
peace

There's a lovely sense of release in this fluid piece.

Thank you Philip Sydney!!

You are a natural poet, nibbling her canapé and sipping at her Moët. :)

Thank you so much for the cherries.

Good to be in the moment.  Great work, economy of words works well and lovely word combinations throughout 'swaying kelp' / 'fat liquid sounds' / 'down-side-up' - all little touches that make it very much your own expression, which is the best thing. Washes fluidly to a lifting ending. Enjoyed yes
