Hi dante31

Sry it took me a minute to respond to ur comment.
Long time no see, how are you keeping m8?

Thanks for the insightful comment. For sure, this poem does have that kinda floaty quality that comes from writing about something from memory. The original poem I wrote in Thailand all those years ago was quite rough and ready 😂 so I ended up re-writing (editing) the poem a lot until I was happy with it.

I'm glad you noticed the stillness at the end as I did that on purpose because I was trying to create an extended metaphor for the way the tidal motions can come to a stillness at slack water in-between the tides. This is why you sometimes get really still, gentle waves on the beach, it is usually because the tide is at that middle point between going in and out.

It feels a bit like a sigh in my minds eye.

Anyway, I'm glad you enjoyed the poem. 👍
