poetry: at the water's edge
April 02, 2008
temporal
temporal
at the water's edge
apologues come alive
by the moonlit swells
by the moonlit swells
and with the ebb
and flow of waves
and flow of waves
at the water's edge
dastaans are shared
dastaans are shared
the flickering flames
cast orange shadows
cast orange shadows
on map-lined faces
at the water's edge
at the water's edge
as the embers cool
the tangerine glow
embraces the world
embraces the world
at the water's edge
life smells the same
as it did eons ago
the beach, the hut
were and will be there
when we return
with new faces
to the water's edge

Nice short poem, Temporal, almost Zen like in it's description.
Could visualize the water's edge in my mind..brought out the sense of eternal love.
One small typo - ambers should be embers, right?
Love and peace to all,
Ayan
