The Desert Sea
Like the bottom
of the sea
the broad
expanse
the distant
barren hills
the feeling of endlessness
Like you could sail
across the
desert sands
driven by the
wind's strong hand
Like the sailor
felt
at the heart of
the sea
no anchor to
hold him steady
Like the
starlit sky
so bright
as he steers
through the
long night
Like something
truly big to behold
big and strong
and bold
and beyond –
history
Frances
Leitch
Feeling that
life is in nature’s palm, I have spun tales of life and the sea, desert, sun,
and wild spaces since youth. I’ve done poems, articles, short
stories, public relations, and having a hobo spirit, traveled through 48
states and 17 countries. In writing and sharing poetry, I hope to
pass on nature’s wonder, a kernel of meaning, and feeling -- that pockets a bit
of the sun.
My poetry has been published in poetry magazines and literary journals, some of which are: The Archer, Lite, Poetry Now, Write On!!, Mysteries of the Lyric World, Baltimore Literary Newspaper, Sacramento Poetry Journal, Art Times Journal, Willard & Maple, Shemom, Free Xpres Sion, and Westward Quarterly, the later three of which I have been a featured writer in as well.
Lovely work. Linda
