Obsession
Vehemently staring
Across the great divide,
It seems I can’t forget
You’ve been ensconced and still abide.
Deep in my preoccupation,
Runs a gentle stream
Of memories and visions of empurpled horizons,
Oceans geysers teem!
Calm enters and remains
Breezes gently blow,
Orange and golden birds appear,
Reminiscent of halo’s glow!
c. Poetic Universalisms by Lena Smith Carter, 2006.
