White, blue, black

sorenbarrett

Where the foam of the sea meets the frothing surf of sky's clouds
Two mirrors laid face to face and what lies between but blue
until the shadows creep in leaving mist between the two
Undulating breakers wash heaven, bathing God's hanging shrouds

 

Between reflective faces lay dark dreams in rolling billows
Fogged glass spaces blur tired eyes obscuring vision
No lit beacon's beam pierces watery walls division 
Pressed between sea and sky, in heaven or deep one finds sleep's pillows

          Soren, reading this felt like being suspended in a place I’ve known… that in-between where direction blurs and everything feels both above and below at once. The fog, the division, the stillness… it’s all very real in its own way. Strong piece, my friend, a fave. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛

            The central idea of the poem revolves around the interplay between the sea and the sky, exploring themes of reflection, duality, and the transient nature of dreams and consciousness. The poet delves into the relationship between these two vast elements, highlighting how they interact, reflect, and obscure one another, ultimately leading to a contemplation of sleep and dreams as a space between reality and the subconscious.
