Letting Go

First find out about introspective.

Chronological order: Letting Go, Sea SongCaresse sur l'océan

of what never was
the first word
the final glance
all a dream
but the sorrow is real
to bask in a glow
that meant naught
every breath
gone over the hills
wondering if this brine
can ever be sweet
for the red die
and the green wilt
the aftermath of saline intimacy
drains blue to a grizzle
return, daughter of salt
to the ocean’s embrace
sands may crumble
but the seas will never dry
the plains you love so much
they are no more
the cliffs you love so much
they are no more
let the waves nourish
your diluted veins
as a free spirit leap up high
and as sea foam on the rocks
let go

The Imagery

Salt.
Animals and plants dwindle away.
Blue fades to grey.
Return from land to sea.
Sea foam sloshing off the rocks.

The Content

Another sea themed entry, comparable to Sea Song and contrastable to Caresse sur l'océan. This piece is particularly ambiguous, but if you consider the connotations I associate with certain symbols it will be clearer.

I would very much rather have you make the connections yourself. An excess of words will break the magic.
