National Poetry Month: Janet Lewis

Check out this poem by Janet Lewis for Day 22 of National Poetry Month

I love this one because of the imagery. I can literally use all of my senses to create the picture she paints!

Peace and Love,

-T. Amour

At Carmel Highlands

Below the gardens and the darkening pines 
The living water sinks among the stones, 
Sinking yet foaming till the snowy tones 
Merge with the fog drawn landward in dim lines. 
The cloud dissolves among the flowering vines, 
And now the definite mountain-side disowns 
The fluid world, the immeasurable zones. 
Then white oblivion swallows all designs. 
But still the rich confusion of the sea, 
Unceasing voice, sombre and solacing, 
Rises through veils of silence past the trees; 
In restless repetition bound, yet free, 
Wave after wave in deluge fresh releasing 
An ancient speech, hushed in tremendous ease.
