Who Are
You

who are you?
how many names
do you hold?
are they whispers in time
found only in each season?
tinkling sounds
join the weeping dew
in a dancing embrace
forever
swirling
to touch the ground
whisper softly
allow me
to capture
your sighing caress
as I hold you tightly
within my breast
the golden thoughts strike
with lightning
haunting
my dreamy days
eerie images touch
my heart
with breezy songs
that drift in the ocean air
with sandy words
truth grates
along the shorelines
of blue and white crested scenes
searching
for a seashell clue
listening
waiting
for the crashing applause
to break
on my rocky thoughts
with salty
exciting moments
memories sail
in shimmering breezes
captured in tidal arms
beached together
as the splashing mist drifts
ever closer
to the shore's embrace
hints of truth
from the stormy sea lie
scattered with a golden tan
no end
just the beginning
of time
as it washes
into my mind
who are you?
