Hypnotising Harm Heals

Great write! I love the imagery and how your word pictures washed over me! Excellent descriptions! Nate

This hit my heart. Thanks! I pray for you! Love and light, David Ps. Do you know Laura Riding? You may like her. Pps. Novalis? You may like him! Ppps. T S is an old tedious bore. But. Slavoj Zizek: In his Notes Towards the Definition of Culture, the great conservative TS Eliot remarked there are moments when the only choice is the one between sectarianism and non-belief, when the only way to keep a religion alive is to perform a sectarian split from its main corpse. This is our only chance today: only by means of a "sectarian split" from the standard European legacy, by cutting ourselves off the decaying corpse of old Europe, can we keep the renewed European legacy alive. The task is difficult, it compels us to take a great risk of stepping into the unknown, yet its only alternative is slow decay, the transformation of Europe into what Greece was for the mature Roman empire, a destination for nostalgic cultural tourism with no effective relevance. ...but you maybe find this boring! :) ppps. I may return to the poem, later on. But I find it perfect. ·

Seren, you seem to write awsomely, and I can put myself on the beach, in the mountains, or whatever you write. You have that unusual talent of writing poems that can put the reader in your poems. I love when that happen. Please don't ever loose that talent you have been blessed with. Thank you for the read. I will seek out some more of your poems. And still read the recent ones you post. Take care of yourself. Peace, Pixee

good write Jayne But I would love to know more about what your heart is feeling ? to balance what yours eyes are seeing love to U Press

Indeed a calm one for you and that surely makes me glad. So you expect me to make comments of course and yes it does really create the ebb and flow of wind and sea and change very well in most places although there are a few lines, where the order of words or syllable number just dont quite for me catch the flow exactly was you want it. The imagery in your first verse also did not quite paint the picture i had in my mind of a compass needle centered on your true bearing and your sail filled by the wind. See how you like my editorial tweaks and suggestions below. Loved the last verse, was perfect. Compass dead center sail billowed by wind waves cut by my bow their forces rescind Discovering land its riches laid bare feet treading sand sun stripping all care Heating the skin warm sunkisses trace Lillie’s and roses all over my face Tide creeping in laps at my feet slowly it rises till we both meet Seahorses twirling around the seabed seagulls are laughing their wing-tips outspread Carried away on a swell of joy embracing the peace pain cannot destroy Love Keith x

Hey you... here we are together!!! Congrats Honey xx Well done, this is a great write Jayne Chloe, really enjoyed it, wish I'd seen it new, surely it should have been a Spotlight!, I'd be most happy to swap... Bravo. xxx Anni We dont believe in ourselves until someone reveals that deep inside us is valuable, worth listening to, worthy of our trust, sacred to our touch. Once we believe in ourselves we can risk curiosity, wonder, spontaneous delight or any experience that reveal

I think it has all been said! I loved the flavour of this piece. The rhyming and pacing were just as good as the language usage. The only thing I wasn't crazy about was the title, but that could just be me. Love, cat

Hi Jayne Like your poem, takes me back to when I was a square rig sailor and yachtsman. Not sure about your title......the hypnotic sound of the surf; waves breaking is healing harm which you have experienced, I do not think that the harm done to you would be hypnotic. Regards Barry
