The Turn
I wish to sink my toes
in the turn, and folds of soil
unknown.
Perhaps, where gravity yields
hinging stones,
and roots are left exposed.
Where memory hasn't
a glimpse,
to lean against, nor hold.
Distant, and adrift
as the quiet hush of dawn.
Will it be a soft, muddied marsh,
heady and thick,
or in a grey October mist?
This I suffer to know.
Will there be beauty there,
distilled, and lingering -
Hiding in the allusive turn?
A place where magnolias bloom,
to mimic the Moon?
For this place unknown,
I do so long -
to go.
Wait.
Is this truly what I seek?
To place my feet
within the maze of twisting turns,
lit by strange hues of orange.
Or is it really a need
to climb the crown of foreign ground
merely to breathe the sweet scent of you?

Blue, this is a peaceful, spiritual feast. The ending is beautiful...the idea that one can find the fulfillment of all of one's yearnings in the soul of another is a beautiful thing.

Yes, it is, and not selfish to want to touch so deeply in the depths of another. Thank you for such lovely thoughts!

To me this indicates the willingness to travel to parts unknown, which can be either thrilling or frightening, to be with the one you love. Takes courage and devotion. Loved this Blue Angel.

spectacular, Angel. there is beauty here, & there will be beauty there, wherever you journey. I'll be searching for you at that same turn of the road...

The need should be explored, and I believe she's willing to go the distance. Thank you for reading!

Our needs and wants, some times the the blurry lines of each bring us on the unknown journey to find whats around each corner? This truly makes me think of my nest backpacking trip in to lands unknown, where I find my greatest spiritual peace and wonderful people! thank you

Ethereal and innocent. A beautiful place the mind hold dear to her heart...a fantasy that triumphs over reality.

Tis true dear Taryn. It's more of view upon a place where no memories have been made yet, good or bad, a place of newness. Thank you deeply for visiting my poetry. With the utmost sincerity, blue angel
