When there is no confluence
When the dry
Riverbed of my mind
Cannot
Connect
I walk my thoughts
Into the ocean
I give my context
To the tide
I give
My driftwood ribs
Back to Adam
Until I am nothing
And everything
Connected

driftwood ribs back to adam....very nice line...and love the philosophy in the last two lines
Great use of symbolism. It seems to me you capture a very telling paradox at the end with your seeming reconciliation of nothing and everything—through felt personal "connection."
walking thoughts into the ocean..this paints a beautiful image of letting go..
Lovely poem Cat - feels like you've dissolved into the ocean on your creative search :) Steve
OH! I like it! I love the way you repainted for me a way to see the image.
Going with the flow so the flow connects!
i walk my thoughts into the ocean...very nice.this is exactly what i feel when standing on the edge of the sea.i toss all cares away.
Quite lovely; well-crafted. Every time I read it. x
