The night exhales along the breathing shore,
tide loosening its silvered seams.
Salt rocks remember older names
than those we give to longing.
This sea that bares her bosom to the moon
holds nothing back.
Light drifts across her skin
in slow devotion,
a hush taught only by distance.
Stars hover, while clouds learn restraint.
I stand emptied by the listening dark,
heart tuned to the pull and release.
Foam speaks once, then repeats itself.
Morning waits, patient and undone.

A profound sense of weightlessness in your writing, particularly in how you describe the interface between the physical world and the internal one. Wow ❤️

Heather this feels intensely intimate to me.
As if the sky and sea are lovers, or about to be.
Brilliant writing!.LikeLike

This is so beautiful. I, too, love to stand and listen to waves against the shore, the tinkle of the shells, the movement of the foam. Your poem brought me there.

I liked the use of alliteration at the beginning. It reminds me of the gentle waves caressing the shore. Beautifully done.
