eternal return


 


I


 


I return
from the white moon
to the tea
in the leaves
of the eternal
mulberry tree.
upon the lips of silk
the thirst
white
to your own
my love
returns.
we drink…


 


II


 


eternal
not even the return to the shore
the eternal shore
of the wave
the eternal wave…
for it is never the same
the drawing on the sand
the eternal sand
when departs
eternally departs
the wave…
nor is it the same
wave
the eternal wave
returning
eternal drawings
but never the same
to the same
eternal
shore…

(I would like to apologise once more for my irregular participation in this forum's activities and very infrequent interaction with you all here in AD. The reasons, of which the main one has been the ongoing frantically busy tendency of this summer, do not include any lack of interest in your works, which I continue to read as the opportunities arise and so many of which I sincerely admire and enjoy. Please accept, also, my heartfelt thanks for the patience, support and encouragement so many of you have nonetheless blessed me with, and be certain of my affection and great appreciation.
With warm hugs, your friend and fellow author,

The magnitude of this composition is vast, splendid in its own merging right/write, the goddess's soul resting among the eternal sparkling pool of eternal life, perhaps as timeless and effervescing as the Fountain of Youth. The image fixes itself in my mind and I want it to continue on to see what is around the next corner, the next life. This poetry and art reveals something very deep, an aura where everything turns back into its original...you partake in a life of satisfying work, Alexandra...

Alexandra,

Never before have two poems been so perfectly entwined. This duet is absolutely brilliant in concept and they read so beautifully, so naturally. I highly admire and respect your amazing talent.

I know that you write them as they come to you but I have to tell you that I believe your best work is accomplished when you first write in Portugués ... just my personal opinion.

Xi-Coração,
Joseph
