LATITUDES, 4th EDITION
​Poetry  

Descent and Rise
​​​by Diane Revell

Vertical Divider
​
The sweet sea grasses and eucalyptus scent
Cause me to linger in my descent
To the moon lit sea with the starry host above.
 
Where the icy waves await
       To pull me into the trough
              The trough of deep depression which sucks away all thoughts
                     All thoughts of sun and happiness, of friends and pleasant deeds
                            Pleasant deeds now forgotten in a sea of needless misery.
 
The sweet sea grasses and eucalyptus scent
Cause me to linger, reverse and ascend
From the moon lit sea with the starry host above.
 
              As I recall thoughts of you and your great kindness and care
       My thoughts elevate me from the black waves of despair 
Towards the silver stars above and a wish to carry on.
