Two Postcards; one from, one to, for Karen B. Nelson’s Reason2Rhyme poetry prompt. Second time I’ve tried this. No comments are necessary. I write these for me because I navigate alone and sometimes end a long watch talking to myself. Good company is where you find it.
Dearest,
The view from my room is of the Sea
To the Northwest across the Channel
Green and brown slopes rise
Above the mist
Dawn’s light on the landscape of my heart
Calls to me
My Captain,
Sundered, lonely, strong and unbowed
We stand apart at separate helms
I cannot chart your course
Nor you mine
Should you survive the crossing
Safe harbor waits
And rest and refit in my arms

You said no comments, but I wanted you to know that really enjoyed this.
very, very nice
You are in touch with your emotions in such a powerful way. It always manages to come out through your writing. These were touching and gentle, and just right.

gentle and tender, and yes, just right. xox
Dear Douglas,
My work space doesn’t have a window, so I’m envious of your mountain top view of God’s creation. I love the photo and really enjoyed the poetry. thanks for sharing it with the world.
Your poems are beautiful. So full of emotion it sets a scene all its own. Thanks for sharing. And I love the picture of the rainbow over the water. The wonder and awesome beauty of God’s creation is just breathtaking, and I bet all the more so in Hawaii.
