What Resides in My Heart:
Beauty Only Partially Perceived
written by: Debra Black
@debrablack
Part One
turquoise green love
shape-shifting thoughts,
feelings, perceptions,
essence, bound and unbound,
all rooted and unrooted.
a landscape of motion and (emotion)
sparkling prisms of light,
grey-tunneled, over-layered, moored.
rippled, refracted,
reflected, transcendental,
done and undone.
the sea rises up swamping me
and i find myself alone once more, time travelling on a string of pearls.
Part Two
diaphanous layers
stacked; shrouded;
obscured; blurred.
the gentle beauty
within and without
soaked in; socked in;
beclouded; befogged.
seemingly no escape.
the horizon,
edgeless, endless,
enveloping all,
obscuring all.
the beauty
known and unknown
just beyond.
a glimpse.
here. there. gone.
the salt of the sea blinds me again.
