between island and island
between islands:
the silence of winter
as ice caps rock
in low tide drift
and frozen marshes where
the orchids rest:
red moss calm
against cold
blue offerings
of sky.
the shore a quiet
tale of thought and shift
congealed tide
on winterside
and i stand by
and watch the crest
and listen:
there is silence
from island
to island.
i see it unfold
and glisten.
the silence of winter
as ice caps rock
in low tide drift
and frozen marshes where
the orchids rest:
red moss calm
against cold
blue offerings
of sky.
the shore a quiet
tale of thought and shift
congealed tide
on winterside
and i stand by
and watch the crest
and listen:
there is silence
from island
to island.
i see it unfold
and glisten.
Re: between island and island
This poem has the drift of water, not pushy or pulling just that gentle drift that the words have and well captured.

Re: between island and island
it is slow
like winter water
and ice floe flow.
thank you, dadio.

Re: between island and island
it makes me feel like I am on a boat, lulled by waves in a cove. watching it from the sun-deck at night with the good sleeping bag. It's gentle, and a good read.........Great job panta!
if words could mend the holes in my quilt
night would be lost for my shiver.

I am just glad I have the "good" sleeping-bag.
