Seascape: NPM26 #1

30 poems in 30 days? Here goes…

Thanks to Verselove for the inspiration.

I. Inside me flows

salty Pacific waters

always moving, never still

etching their way from 

head to heart, calling

my name

II. Misty mornings wake me

dampen my face, painting

monochromatic shadows that

smell of sea funk

rust tracing the rivers

where salt spray never dries

III. Waiting for evening sky bursts

colors beyond imagination 

when juicy languid reds trickle into

luscious oranges that tickle the nose 

yellows so tart your taste buds pucker

sensory feast worth hungry gray days

IV. Inside me lives a liquid map 

surrounded 

by desert where fires flare,

water is precious, beauty goes deeper

than the eye can see

roots spread to quench their thirst

V. seeking connections 

VI. My pen yearns for words

to plant seeds deep underground 

to protect my lifeblood and yours

Earth’s waters

That flow in us all
