Once in a Blue Moon  

Ah Spiritual awakening gotta love it. Thanks for the flower.

Duke, you're very welcome

appreciate the drop in and the comment man. thanks

If we listen....we can hear...even in the slightest moments of calm or in a raging sea...the gift of enlightenment will appear....only we can choose to listen and grasp :)

lalamelissa,

That's very nice,I like it.

Short and to the point and so good
Love it

Gigi.

your support is always appreciated.Glad you loved it.

thanks for the stopping by and leaving of your thoughts.
  

You say so much with so few words, and very beautifully. There is something peaceful, but sad about asking the sea to wash you clean. Whatever it is you need washed away though, you are the only one who can give yourself relief.

Thank you always for your words.

Starling.

you are far too kind...and fairly clued in by all accounts.

I'm sorry but I cannot let this go without saying something;

"you are the only one who can give yourself relief."  

classic! :D

this is beautiful I could just envision laying there as the ocean lapped over me willing it to cleanse me..this poem gave me a sense of peace Eamon as your soul washed across the page..xoxo Crim

Crimson! hey good to see you knocking about.

Thank you lots for dropping in and leaving your footprint.  Your comment is also beautiful.

 

"just gazed at the tide lapping against the peer. wishing." Great write.    

Dr Love.

Cheers man,  I was in two minds whether to use 'stared instead of gazed.

your visit and comment are both welcome and appreciated . thanks

Nice.

There is not very many things more powerful or seemingly purer than the sea. Why not ask it to cleanse you? I relate.

You say an ocean full with just a dew drop. Such great talent.

Rachel.
It's always good to know that a connection or a relate-ion was made.

powerful,unforgiving, mesmerizing and countless other words that will probably never truly describe an ocean.

Thank you lots for your kind words  

i'll say first, that it's "pier", the word you're looking for there, but now the good stuff.

that pretty piece of the poem, "I begged the sea to wash me clean" is so complete in itself... it gives and gives to the reader, the exact emotion you're feeling. showing, not telling. beautiful sentiment. happy to see you back [:

ah, greetings Pretty Lady :)

fair play to you for spotting Pier.

agreed about that line.

I cut out a line that was excess,thanks for that.

delighted to have you drop by and leave your brain print.

happy to be back :)

one word: bliss.

Ophie.

I can live with Bliss.

thank you kindly for dropping in and leaving your thoughts. :)

i
can 'relate' ......
i was
bobbin  in the Atlantic
under the full 'blue'moon
recently......
twas
so warm'n'gentle rollin
  in&out,uppa'down
   ...makes ye
   feelike
staying
       for The Big LongTime

Daniel.

That's so true,
and with the added 'blue
atop the colored moon
the ocean can be extra
seductive

happy you stopped by man, cheers for your thoughts.

I love it when I can read a few short lines and feel satisfied that something has been sparked-hard to do but you did so brilliantly with this verse. Once a blue moon, anything is possible. I will say this, I have had many unanswered prayers in life but never an unanswered question- that was the enlightenment to tell me I was asking for the wrong things..Just let yourself happen and you may happen to find that yourself is both the problem and the solution...I wish you and yours love and peace..Be well bro
Great Poem,
Miki

Jesus Miki...

Hope you are feeling better.

you honor me with your in-depth-ness :)

glad you stopped by and did what you do.

thanks lots.

Gabriel,

very true, I agree.

good of you to stop by and leave your thoughts. welcome and thank you.

I love being in your mind.
It's such a beautiful, evoking poem.
Blunt and short, yet intricate and so very elegantly said.  

Adele.
c'mon now, get out of my mind, there's things in there that will scar you for an eternity.

appreciate you stopping by and leaving your thoughts Adele, thanks lots.  

Ha! I actually truly believe that comment! But besides that, it is nice, I guess I mean I enjoy the way your mind works when you write things. Don't take me for the creeper (think of me more of a devoted stalker).

ps. just kidding!
Just a true fan of your writing.

-Adele.

Fan - creeper - devoted stalker  I can live with either :)

I love how what starts out as 'begged the sea' works its way down in a steadily more doubtful voice, to simply 'just gazed'. It gives this feeling of that wish having some secretive place burrowed like a tiny light inside the narrator.

Merda.

I hadn't noticed that before,but it seems very clear now I look at it. Certainly something to think about .

great to see you drop by and leave your thoughts.

thanks.  
  

I am just moved by a certain kind of honesty in the poem which is making it plain and sublime. Beautiful!!!

Annando :)

good to see you man!

moving people is what it's all about in the end whether it's moving ourselves or moving others.

happy yo dropped in and left your thoughts.  

Dear CraicDealer ... Very short compact poems like this convey so much meaning ... Well done I pray your wishes come true ... Love and Peace ... Bruce

Bruce.

Thank you lots for the love and prayers.I can tell you're sincere about it, which is very humbling.

very happy you dropped by and left your mark here.

Short and succinct. Yet, somehow you managed to insert a lot of imagery. Nicely done

Miss Caliban.

Thank you kindly for dropping by and leaving your thought print.

much apreciated.

Dear CraicDealer, A very noble thought that few think of ... how to wash clean or remove all the blemishes from our soul or consciousness that we have put there in the millions of lives we have led in these material realms. Meditation on the inner light and sound of God as taught by the Great Sant Mat Masters is the remedy for this situation. This great write speaks a lot in just a few words ... Love and Peace ... Bruce

ah Bruce, noble it might be. though I'd not profess to be like that all the time hence the title. :)

I checked out your man Sant Mat Masters. he seems decent enough.

Thanks for the heads up Bruce.
 

speaks volumes,enjoyed Eamon!

Shaman!

hey, good to see you knocking about again man, hope you are well.

thanks for dropping in and leaving your thoughts.

Oh my, what a piece!

Lovely left, right and centre.
So, how did you beg without a sound, yet not wanting company(who is that?) to hear?

C-ryp-tic, do I like!

Good on you, C D.

Please pen more.....  :-)

Cheers
Tidespotter

Ahh Tidespotter

you're a curious ol soul..

Have you ever been in company and just switched off, wanting to be somewhere else,  ah the mind the mind..


Thanks for the stop by T S , apreciated

Yes, lad...a curious ol' soul are you, too!
Can hear some of your thoughts, mind now...better hush some of them über-crazy ideas....
Just kidding, as you should know. :-)

Re: in company + switch off......oh yeah, tons-a times!
But it seems so rude at times, so gotta force an 'engaged' look. You dig?
Thought so.

Keep penning, man.

Tidespotter

Beautiful.

Why yes, yes you are.

Welcome back missus.

I just wanna nuzzle you now :)

Have you noticed your capitalization is not consistent? It's the only nit I have. I think you should either become wholly lower case with no punctuation, or capitalize the beginning of each complete thought.

This is so soft and lovely and intimate. Humans are so profane, yet so divine. The undulant cadence lends itself well to the ebb and flow of the sea, and the sea is very feminine...whether intentional or not I breathe this piece as both introspective and overtly sexual.

Pleased to be reading you in this environment again.

Ah longing ... Dreaming..... Wishing. Very touching mate.

thank you kindly, Mr Noctem

I really like this :)

thank you most lots, Lady of the ThreeOs. kind of you to drop by and say

You're welcome

God that was so beautiful and romantic.
I liked this write a lot

You're very kind, Miss Jackson and thank you for dropping in and leaving your thoughts

As we were all born in the sea, we all return to her ... In one form or another.

Beautifully haunting piece here my friend.

there's been a bit of a spike in drowning fatalities around the island over the past couple of weeks. There's some islands off the coast. Aran islands. Its where the famous Aran jumpers come from. big thick woollen sea jumpers.  the patterns used to be unique to individual fishermen, it helped with identity

delighted you stopped by and left your thoughts, good sir

thanks heaps and bunches

Silent wishes are the most profound.  Lovely write here.  So glad it was thrown at me via the Random system!  :)
Willow

This is a beautiful wish, encapsulated within a beautiful poem - wonderful, lepperochan! :)
