Ocean Pandanus

by Melinda J. Irvine19 October 201820 October 20185 Comments

all her life
she leaned toward sea
pelagic and tidal
she yearned for the deep

and yet she remains
only brine on the breeze
a blackened torn shadow
over sunset stands she

  Thanks it was a lovely afternoon and I felt a little bit like that pandanus tree.

  Thanks Kerstin that means a lot coming from you. It’s nice to be back in Mission for a few days.
