The Blue Lotus

Beneath erring seas
She waited
Cursed by mortality...

He knew her
Only fleetingly,
And all he remembered
Was her trail...

She watches him now
From her watery grave;
She watches him...
The man with the white beard
And the stick.
He walks still
Seeking the petals
Of his blue lotus.

so much depth and so many thoughts, so condensed
the pauses etch on to you
love

i feel as though i am you, when i read your words, the girl, waiting and watching....
