"...and beneath her she left footprints,
broken stories trapped in the shore,
frail pasts of suffering minds,
shattered souls on the floor,
and as she gently walked over them,
their skeleton's silhouettes felt alive,
taken by the breaking breeze like dust,
kindled by the fantasies she left behind.
She breathed the ocean's oblivion,
faded memories with the tide,
still through nothing she heard secrets,
all the hidden tears the world had cried...."

What a beautiful poem and picture! They say a picture is worth a 1000 words, you captured the picture, the mood, the feeling, and the imagination in only 72 words!
Great!
Thanks so much!

Welcome
This sounds the epic beginning or sorrowful ending of a heart wrenching novel. Gorgeous.
Aw thank you Heather!
Super write, "broken stories trapped in the shore" says so much.
Thanks so much for the save gf. I interpreted that line in many different ways in my mind.
This is fantastic. I mean, absolutely marvelous. Well done. Write more, I implore you.
Thanks so much. I will😊
I absolutely love it. Memories are tough sometimes. I think you gave me some inspiration for my next poem. Keep it up! This is great!
Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it! I'll look forward to reading your work😊
oh, this has reminded me of so many wonderful past poets I have read. one of my favorites is Leonard Cohen, and your beautiful wording merges up against some of his work. keep this up, Hopey_xx, it has a touch of class about it.
Thank you so much, Kevin...
