This poem is on par with the imagery from a song written by Brian Wilson and Mike Love for the, the Beach Boys, released on their 1963 album Surfer Girl, called
“Catch a wave and you’re sitting on the top of the world “.
It was not only the lyrics, but the arrangement of the music that heralded The Beach Boys in the 1960’s and 1980’s. But the imagery from this title captures so much of the lifestyle of California surf music, that one’s imagination is immediately captured and carried away.
I get the same sensation when I read the first and last stanzas of your new poem “Chasers of Magic”.
“Children of children again, splashing in the sea.”
If we swim fast enough… we’ll never be caught.”
In the middle of that, the layering of body movements and visuals of colors from underwater draws from the reader fond reminiscence of our exhilarating experiences swimming in the ocean at the beach.
Amazing. Have you ever considered going on the road with your poetry? performing spoken word. your voice is magic!
OOOOH this is a wonderful idea!
Oh man, I don't know if I could take myself seriously hahaha.
I love this poem!! May we all remember that our inner child is always with us, waiting for us to stop and connect with them.
Always with us, always wanting so badly to come back out. :)
