“Community” – Original Love Poetry

dVerse Poets Pub : Open Link Night, Week 41
hosted by Brian Miller
“we all need those connections—that community—whether in time of trial or celebration. That is the essence of OpenLinkNight for me. When I click on your link, I don’t know what to expect, but I open that door…
“When I leave that comment, I don’t know if you need it, or if you will return one to my place, but I open the conversation. Thank you to all those that are building that community here, one conversation at a time….”
*
i myself, have been diving deeply into visual work, fitness classes, and even formatting my first hard copy trade book of one of my ebook poem collections
brian, one of the founders of dversepoets, like one of my daughters, recently took a fun-challenging group of young-uns on one of those i-can’t-believe-i-went-with-them trips, that we old(er) folk sometimes remember better than the kids 😉
that, those trips we make with our little ones, are among the deepest community we make…
those are a sharing across generations, time, and ages, that sticks like spring pollen on our heart’s memory cells
i didn’t have a specific thing in mind for my poem, other than its title, not a usual pattern for me, but i could feel the swell of feelings, like the way wading in chest high water on flat beaches like galveston feels –
and then one realizes why they’re called swells 😉

Community
fresh off the visual wagon and
onto the sleigh of words
backed-up
laughing and playing like
cars on galveston’s beaches back
in the 60s
radios blaring beach boys and beatles
and
bottles of beer held to the
summer light
no one
thought about
leaving broken glass
sharp edges for tender feet
in the soft sand
*
those times
aren’t
gone
they cycle like the seasons the moon
the earth round the sun
the cry for community was
strong enough
back then
to
drown the worries
it wasn’t the first time
hope sprung
in the
wells of people’s’ eye-hearts
it won’t be the
last –
that, we already know 😉

Ahh, you are such a beautiful, passionate soul Adan. You caught the first part of that wave coming in from the 60s, a time thatbwas almost mythic when the ripples reached me. 🙂
