Drifting
© 2005 By Terri Marie
There's nothing like poetry with its luxurious rich imagery to sparkle up my brain and light up my life
Must be the pull of the equator
Circulating horizon regulator
That causes the surfers to drift south
From the cave of the trembling Pacifics mouth
As Zephyrs across the light blue canvas fly
Gobbling up the tender sky
And the sun mirrored gently on the ocean wall
Glistens to the southern call
When all is moving, only the sand and the blueness
Take a temporary stall
And ship shaped sea gulls
Turn their hulls
And the south pulls the wave riders
And the water and the rays of light penetration
In her daily longitudinal migration
Pulls the clouds around like clay
Instantly fresh, never a replay
Pulls the wind southward too
Pulls the water pulls the blue
And all drifts south so ever south
Riding the trade winds
South becomes north and the night begins
As it pulls the water
The light and the blue away
Gives us the night
Takes back the day
And we can pretend the north wind blows
When the south really inhales
The south breathes the sky
Gasping it grows the gales
As it takes its relentless deep breath...away
