Small People
such visible void
of a deserted beach
vague phantoms
conquering their own world
in their humble way
settling down in unity
moving on with the winds of the sea
silently
in their private world
holding tight
in togetherness
they unite
in sun-drenched shadows
invisible lives
of great small people
afar on stranded sand
Dutch poetess Elly Wouterse is oftentimes focused observing the world surrounding her. While watching, noticing, listening, thinking, dreaming and - or fantasizing she often finds the inspiration resulting in Poetical Visuals published on her own website - http://www.ellywouterse.com/ and in her first publication, Between Moonset and Sunrise. http://www.ellywouterse.com/special-edition.html
Elly, your poem resounds a haunting echo as I read your words and reflect upon the impressions it leaves upon my heart and mind, reading the words over and over to see if my first impression remains - and it does! I love the haunting depth of it all. Sheri
ReplyDeleteI'm in awe, Elly. This is a very nice poem. It is still resonating in my mind. Thank you for sharing it with us here at Whispers and continued blessings!

I love this - all of the invisible small people of the world, just getting on with it...
ReplyDeleteThis poem takes me to the shores of northern France with March mists that reveal and conceal all that you have conveyed! A delightful read. Ralph.
