Tender Mercy #21
Let’s go throw all the songs we know
into the sea and
blend them with just out of reach
ocean rhythms and
time breaks singing in a resurgent
hiss and lap ebb
and flow as the songs we know
sliding off the sandbar
slowly float out to sea only to
return with the tides

I read the first line of this on a Last.fm page, and was inspired…Who knew it was a song by The Cure? This is another in the Tender Mercy series which is growing sort of like poetic kudzu.

Just when I think all the words I’ll ever love have already been written, you go and pen this… this delightful thing. It is my new favorite love.
You humble me with your praise, Marsha…
I like that Cure song and really like where you took it, throwing a song I know into the sea and coming up with something new and wonderful.
