"Slipstream"

He shone his strength of light
with weary feet he stole the night

To hasten to ones call

howls of beauty throughout the dawn
captured, to her radiant scorn

Of pity and sadness
she had broke her silence

To bloom among the dunes
to shelter, held within the caves

No tidal seas bring my love

what love calls out and yet enslaved

My naked feet came home to dance
washing tides a caressing chance

When silence veiled
I halted for only a moment

of scardeness within me

Cruel times were just lent

What was I seeking
where does this soul of mine

destine me

or does it at all?

Falling rain
a cleansing quiver

washing nothing
yet streams of shiver

My eyes so misted
but colors so full

My heart pumped out
grasping breath

No penny the toll

Looking into the wake

I then saw my soul

SS is short for SlipStream right? An enigmatic write from the master of enigmatism (is that a word?!?!) I like it. ;-)

Great write Sophia! As always, wide open to many interpretations. How like a woman to pen an emotion and leave it to others to figure it out... wine
