Three Cheers For The Paraclete


3WW


she sat on the ledge
looking out to sea
from her thinking seat
watching the waves
knead the rocks
under the melting sun

this was her place
to cleanse the cobwebs away
the oracle had told her
it was her time again
she knew it and
she meant it

    Sometimes I guess we just know. Powerful words.

    I need a spot like that. April has been gray and cold and snowy and rainy. It drags me down. There's something bewitching, almost hypnotizing, about looking out over water. Nice poem, Rall!

    Thank you Marianne.Good weather is important for mood state. Build a raft ( Thor Heyerdahl did ) and sail over.Send me a message by seagull and I'll meet you on the thinking ledge:)
