yesterday’s unsung lullabies

 

I stepped in the cold waters of the ocean sea bed

To feel the grainy granules of the ocean’s sand

I saw clear marine life in early dawn

I marveled on its beauty

The eastern wind blew its slow pulsing dance

Making waves of luminous light

Like millions of electric patterns

Swimming around the vast waters

 

☼

Hours passed while looking beyond the horizon sunlight

The heat was on its peak

Afar from the deep sea

I reflected to the words of the blues and I pondered on its clues

A Gem I remembered

Where are you now my beautiful gem?

 

♪

 

My unsaid goodbyes are my yesterday’s unsung lullabies

haunting the haunted

recollections rendered

I yearn to forget…

I like the title and the whole poem. I can feel the relationship or the bond is strong between you and nature where both are complimenting each other as one and celebrating life the beautiful...Well done . Bravo

once more you writer another poem. I have seen the see once and felt sands benithe my feet. You captured everything I felt.

"I suppose in the end, the whole of life becomes an act of letting go. But what always hurts the most is not taking a moment to say goodbye." That's an excerpt from one of my fave movies. Still, there are things better left unsaid and it is in our solitude that we start to ask ourselves "what if?" Such truthful and honest poem, Pax:)

A great celebration of the luminous. Very well done.

You pictured here an example of communion with nature. And for a thing to ponder, nature indeed is a metaphor for human life.
On the context of the unsung lullabies : lack or absence of closure in a relationship is something that can linger for life. It leaves a feeling of abandonment or worst a feeling of complete rejection.

Another one nice try, Pax. Keep going...

I love the idea of the rippling water...

I read Gabrille's review. I think we always need closure to a relationship, otherwise it becomes a song unsung forever...

The three (3) stanzas can actually stand on their own. each of them has distinctive appeal. the first stanza, is what i like best as it depicts my inner yearning for a vacation once more in a pristine beach. i likewise can relate to the second stanza. indeed, when we are at the most beautiful and serene place we cannot help but remember those significant people especially those whom we had not made any closure with. But this made me think, do we really need closure of a relationship that had long actually ended before the parties would sit down and talk about it? This is beautiful and very "relatable" pax.

[Pax]

you surprise me Gab on how keen you are... hand down na ako :) and to answer your question, i have been asking that question to myself... and until now I am not sure how to answer....sometimes we need assurance to find peace on oneself... the closure that we need or we are forever haunted.... segoro may unsorted feelings left behind that need assurance....

thank you very much, always :)

A beautiful poem for the marvelous nature. Very descriptive write. It really would be a pleasant thing to spend some time with mother nature. Your first stanza was really wonderful.
