If a hollowing sorrow
Catches your breath in a
Hold
And then folds
Like a snail
Into what can’t
Be told …
Let the richness
Of you
Spread like gold
From a long ago story
Foretold,
Like the waves’
Gentle touch
On a morning’s
Threshold.

There are rich sounds in this quadrille. I love the assonance of ‘hollowing sorrow’ and the ‘old’ rhyme that echoes throughout like a bell.

🙂 Those were VERY gentle ocean waves! The ocean in the mornings was literally like a golden silk curtain, spread on the water. 🙂
