Truth Walks Unseen

Once a shadow, now a ghost
inside of a realm
where the sea is a woman
who will sweep you
off your feet.
Truth walks unseen across certain things
like a northwesterly wind
does my loneliness......
meet.

I read and re-read this piece and each time I interpreted different things.... Yes, its a poem about seclusion, but the lines present themselves in so many ways.... for e.g when I came across the line "sea is a woman...." i was thinking, is this the sea in the literal sense? That is, may be this soul retires to a place where the roaring of the sea invokes multitudes of feelings. Then I thought may be this is the Inner Sea-the raging emotions in the heart of this forlorn soul that can take you by storm if you surge deep into the crevasses of heart...I faced the same dilemma in the line "Truth walks unseen across certain things "...Are these truths about this person or the realities that she fathoms? That is the beauty of the poem Neva! It makes the readers think and present itself in different colors... Its incredible how you can achieve so much in few lines; something i always aspire to do so myself.... The conclusion has a calming effect: it talks about the soul coming to terms with her loneliness.. So those different meanings finally converges in unison. This is beauty personified... Going to my favorites..

wow so short but so powerful. it gives the reader a chance to imagine what they might want to but you still get a sence of being from it. It is almost sad but it has an edge to it i can't quite but my fingure on. very nice and well versed. I love the way u used the winds. like your loneliness is the equator and they are crossing to meet. i love it. truely amazing

Shadows, ghosts, and wind... the sea of a woman... perhaps is enough, or perhaps the wind will bring her a ship :) Longing and lonely poem Neva Love the visuals.
