The Leap

 

How the porpoise was drawn into the seas


holding a pace seeming stationary


and, bagged on a shelf in a store of years,


who would believe: love is perfected yet.

 

 

Moon-proud a sillhouette over our seas-


a second sight at the antipodes-


curving like the rainbow before she fades


just as never was: love is perfected yet.

a wonderful turn of words that flow and dance just as I imagine a porpoise might do.
Nice one
