Kristine

Her curls blend with the swirls of the sea
Eddies swish 'round the pedestal
The tides call her home
But down flutters o'er her heart
As her fingers stretch to feel
The tickling of the breeze
Feathers sprout, wings unfurl, she rises
She rises with a cry, bright thing.
A sail from a distant vessel waves her farewell.

  1. So she is answering the call of the wild. Stretching her wings signals the beginnings of an adventure. Wonderful take Cosmos!

  6. A mystery - who is Kristine and what exactly is happening? And yet those questions remain secondary as your poem catches us up and enthrals us. (I think myself she is someone at the moment of death ... but perhaps, instead, someone having an imaginative experience. )
