Every so often, Abbey of the Arts hosts a poetry invitation. She posts a picture and a theme and invites anyone to respond with poems, reflections, prose. Check the icon for more info. Read my submission below.
Twilight Resurrection
Luminous,
dancing with a golden mirth
dancing with a golden mirth
She skips across the sun-soaked beach,
splaying her toes, softly burrowing
into velvety sand, then splashing,
splashing ~ making iridescent ripples
splashing ~ making iridescent ripples
in a silent and silvery sea
that seems to come from
that seems to come from
beyond twilight
She sparkles in a dusky sunset,
appearing simultaneously
miniscule and monumental.

This means challenging my self to compassionate, encouraging, genuine and hostile-free exchanges. It also means contemplating my reaction to the thoughts, feelings and expressions of others, prior to acting upon them.

I like it! Especially
"She sparkles in a dusky sunset,
appearing simultaneously

Evokes our relationship to both an oceanic and an Oceanic backdrop...
Foamy ~ :^)
Christine/Abbey ~ many thx for the inspiration and opportunity you provide thru these 'parties' ... at first I wasn't sure I could get the poetry muse to follow that process ... but she did! And it felt good, flowed smoothly.
Paul ~ thx; yes, there's something life-affirming about the ocean.
