Hypnotize me as you will.
My mind is out of reach
Like water leaves a lake until
It runs upon some beach.
It wants that sand on solid land.
It’s carried back from shore
To circle and not understand
Why it does not need more.

Thanks! Upon rereading the poem, I wonder if it makes any sense at all, but I like the inevitability of retreat interpretation.

I don’t need more than this one poem, Frank! This was beautiful and went with the image so well. I like that nature needs (or has) no thoughts about what it does, it just does it. I think your poem makes perfect sense it’s very good.

I’m glad it made sense to you, Bekkie. Sometimes I write something and it makes perfect sense up until a day after I’ve posted it. I’m glad you liked it!
