Looking At The Water

by Ken Harnisch

If my appetites diminish me

Then I accept that as the consequence

 

It is for wanting life that

We often plunge into the sea

To swim, and sometimes drown.

 

But looking at the water

Even painting it

Is not enough

To sate the hunger

Anymore.

I can't help but feel the embryonic qualities rising from this aquatic piece, Ken. Your stark yet passionate glimpse makes me want to run on the beach and play tag with the waves. Good stuff. pe4ce...

I've missed reading your stuff. Glad to get the chance to read this one. It is great as usual. I find the image coming very clearly out of this. It really struck a chord. Thanks!

*soft smile* I can identify with this... I have been there. How very well you write it Ken!
