The Majestic

TrystanBehm

History, romantics and poets love her

She gets all the credit, she’s Majestic

But what about me; the dunes, reeds – the beach

 

My sand absorbs your turmoil

Each grain expanding to envelop your substance

Whispering to be calm and return to your roots

I can handle the rest

 

The wind rearranges me

So I am always ready for your fury and foam

Quickly hiding your chaos under a smooth and dark surface

My replenishment derived from your murky shallows

 

I reciprocate your curl

To effortlessly return you

Back to the darkness that makes you

Mysterious, and deadly

 

I am the bearer of your revisionist history

Showing only what you have released

Foreboding to some, intoxicating to others

 

                            - Inviting to those few, who your deep soul, is their final resting place of choice; consciously or unconsciously.

      Thanks Lorna! Not even sure what to put in the profile - that might be harder than writing poetry 🙂

              The lure of the deep is so powerfully presented in these engaging lines Trystan to which I can relate - Living so near the beach that receives tidal fury at times your personification of its appeal made the read very special to me. Thanks for this write which goes into my faves.

                Thank you so much Fay. Really happy you enjoyed the poem. It is a complicated relationship - one which is allegorical to so many things I see in life. Appreciate the sincere comment!
