in the wind
seafarers seeking
the greatest,
lightest burden of them all,
the spice, cocoa,
paint and dye,
the import/export—
of color, comfort,
connection,
and risk—
soaring like a fuchsia
bird
in an infinite,
indigo sky
beckoning,
beckoning
us to come along,
unanchored
to gather up our
castaway hearts
and leave our
shipwrecked shores
behind

What restorative, revitalizing words you’ve selected for this piece, Jennifer. And that “ribboned” lighter-than-air fantastic. Just Beautiful!
I love the words flying away, ribboned ~ Good to leave those shipwrecked shores behind ~
I love what you did with the word "ribboned" - it made my eyes float over the letters and had an incredible effect! Really made the word look like it was floating :)
Lovely layout of the poem in the starting and as it move downs it becomes lovelier!
I just love how you made the words float on the page..
Well this was just so wonderful!!
The visual and the written aspect of this are both great. I like the message of leaving the bad behind and moving ahead with excitement. Well done.
I can't keep it any longer: i admire the way you structure your poems up on here! I also love the Biblical way you write. keep them coming!!!
