American Open Mike

~wings of flight~

Ophelia
Ray Johnson
sea somewhere
said last good bye
a parti-colored line
of letter-leaves
is stretched into
the sunset
the verses cover clouds
in close print
Ophelia
the name of primal yearning
for those
who drifting in the stream of ages
draw patch of light
with brush of solar beam
at School of CorresponDANCE
every letter
addresses death
and bears triangle stamp
Ray Johnson
waves form lines for notes
of long-awaited letter
homing-pigeon
pecks one by one
the twinkling lights of night
Ophelia ... Ray Johnson
.....wings of flight.....

This line for me says it ALL! The flooding of the heart, the flooding of the sea..and the flooding waves..of waiting..

Beautiful :)
