reuniting family



Souls gathered
found a common space
the seas had parted them
when the winds were rough
and the moons gave
demanding rise to the tides

if the voices would not
have howled in darkened
starless nights
these souls would not
have heard and wished
to gather again

but they did last night
and the stars came out
the seas did rise
so did the wind
the moon gave light
to this gathering

long embraces flowed
shared much lost,
even when words were'nt spoken
the eyes met, the windows opened
hearts beat in sync
the souls smiled

It was meant

    This is very lovely - the stars, the moon, the sea, the wind...... the words unspoken, but felt through the eyes.......just lovely, kiddo.

    You have followed the thread of an interesting concept in this poem. What brings souls together, and drives them apart.

    First the souls part due to seas and wind! Wow and then 'the souls smiled. It was meant.' How lovely! :)

    really well thought out!!! I like where the prompt took you: you have chartered new territory and made it your own.

    The line breaks make for a definite musicality to this piece and the repetition...well done!

    A pretty song to celebrate gathering and parting and gathering just as the waves playing with the shore.

    Oh wow, your last line is brilliant! "It was meant" rather than "It was meant to be." The former says so much more than the latter, which is cliché. Excellent.
