Hope, burning, blew
like driftwood across white beaches
as sunrise breached
the distant horizon line.

Life driftwood on white beaches,
sand sullied calm dreams.
The distant horizon line,
turbulent, wailed a mourning.

Sand sullied calm dreams
like a burden we couldn't shake.
Turbulent, wailing a mourning,
we loosed wishes to the sea.

Like a burden we couldn't shake,
sunrise breached as
we loosed wishes to the sea:
hope burning blue.
A pantoum for the beautiful, inspiring goddess I call Mel ( hopeburnsblue )

I wanted to play around with my word choice between the first and last stanzas, hence why the first line differs so much (blew with a w, versus blue the color; also, punctuation).  I also cheated JUST A SMIDGE on the second line in the last stanza (moved "as" from first word to last) to make it flow more naturally.

Mel--you are a sweetheart.  I appreciate your friendship and everything you've done for me lately--more than you could know.  Thank you, thank you, thank you.

:heart:
