After a rather long gap Muse again requested that I start to write again. She dropped some interesting ideas into my thoughts including one for a photographic version of "The Message", I hope to present that before too long. "The Message" is constructed as a Gogyohka - five lines - set in the middle of a group of four-line stanzas and was originally birthed as a stand-alone Gogyohka but Muse and I knew that there was more to come...
Ocean Song - 04 Aug 11
Including The Message
To the water’s edge
Down across the sand
My footsteps
Wove the rhythm
Watched the waves
Wash the stones
Half-buried
Weed entangled
Heard the words
Whispered by the water
Carried
From your lips
Afternoon sky
Rainbow reflected
On the shards
Of crystal
I wrote the words
Upon the sand
And waited
For the tide
To take my message to you
Ripples lick
The fragment words
Absorb them into
Her heart
I heard my words
Reflected back from her
To me…
I love you
It turned out that this was to form another part of the Ocean Love Songs series of poems, Haiga and Gogyohka that have been growing over the last few months.

ReplyDeleteThank you dani ♥ for your lovely comment - I will compile them soon but I'm not certain that the series will ever be complete so the compilation will just be "Volume One"
