Ekphrasis Project: "Rock Surf Interface, Maine" painting by Cindy Asherman, U.S.A. Poem by Lidia Chiarelli, Italy

The Ocean’s Call

 

  “The force that drives the water through the rocks

drives my red blood...”

Dylan Thomas

(from:The force that through the green fuse drives the flower)

 

Beneath a mantle of silence

only the waves are alive today

in their relentless dance.

 

Pearl clouds

play in the distance

and the sun

too quikly

  comes and vanishes.

 

I walk along the ebony cliff

shivering at the wind’s icy touch

while

time and space dissolve

in the primordial roar

of the cobalt-blue ocean.

Lidia Chiarelli, Italy
