When searching for your truth, remember
you are an ocean.
An ocean is deeper than anyone knows.
Light penetrates the surface
then things get darker.
Your skin is holding back the tide.
Your smile barricades
a gulf of unseen currents.
Only your eyes
reveal the true colours of your sea.
You are a creature.
One of mind and matter,
head, heart and limbs
all intertwining.
This creature lives in your ocean
and makes love to life.
You hold truth in your hands.
Your choice is to rise or drown.
I have written this Ekphrasis poem as accompaniment to the art collaboration between Eli Edward Evangelidis and me, entitled Entanglement.
What a wonderful collaboration this is. I love the image and, of course, adore your poem, which puts me in mind of a favourite song by the Wyrd Sisters that says we are not solitary waves, but part of the ocean. I especially love "you hold truth in your hands." I hope we all choose to rise!

DeleteThis is incredibly beautiful, Kerry!💘 I especially love; "Your smile barricades a gulf of unseen currents. Only your eyes reveal the true colours of your sea." It's always in the eyes no matter how hard one tries to hide it!💘👏👏
