Pages of time!

To be or not to be

was washed up in emotions

displayed across the sands of time

spoken on the waves

withdrawn on the tides

drowning in verse

another tale sails by

where words lost in verse

meet at the horizon

books lie in wait

opened by the wind in passing

to be read like

I was read.

'To be or not to be', yes we are so often what we are, by what others read of us.( both metaphorically and literally) I love the way you use natural word pictures...'sands of time', 'tides,' meeting 'at the horizon' and 'the wind in passing'. We are indeed little worlds. And others, who read us, make books of us, 'To be read, like I was read'. You have written a wonderful poem of 13 lines (was 13 intentional?). I hope you have many more Pages of time. I look forward to reading more of you!

"to be read like
I was read."

If I take it as I'm usually read or have been, then probably that 'book' would be misunderstood lol
'washed up in emotions' - I like that. Also the imagery in this one. This has a heavy feeling about it. ..

dear Andrew... to be read like a book as ships pass in the night ... as the wind turns the pages
over the horizon of dreams.... truly a poetic voyage of red sails in the sunset.... As ever, Pat
