Rave Reviews Book Club is recognizing exceptional talent in its membership. A literary group has been formed within RRBC named Rave Writers - International Society of Authors (RWISA). RRBC is showcasing these authors on a month long blog tour that I (along with others) am happy to host!
I am excited to introduce fellow author and member, D. L. Finn, featured today, day 18 on Watch RWISA Write Showcase Tour! Read her beautiful poems. Click on her name below (blue link) and also RWISA (purple link) below to learn more about her, and her books! Enjoy!
RWISA:
EXPANSION
Flowing out before me – while approaching -
In the sweeping motion of a grand gesture
Presenting its soulful sweetness.
Behind me is a small desert I’ve crossed - shoeless
While carefully stepping over the littered
offerings.
Salt saturates my senses
As the gentle-wind styles my hair,
With the latest sea breeze fashion.
My eyes are opened to new possibilities
With a window into its wonders,
With every wave that greets my feet,
The sun soaks into my skin
Cradling me in its warmth and completing the moment.
I stand in awe before the substantial sea
Observing its vast expansion of life-
That I’m humbly a part of.
I
soar above it all
In
a human-made machine
Taking
me places
Only
my soul has dared to venture.
Up
into the heavens,
Higher
than the loftiest of birds,
I
soar above my life
Going
from one place to another.
The
clouds which usually blanket me
Are
perched like a safety net below,
Holding
me above the sea.
Lives
seem so small
As
our group is thrust forward
Some
sleep-
Some
read-
Some
watch movies-
While
others drink.
It’s
a long trip with strangers
All
going to the same destination
But
right now, we are…
Above
it all in our metal bird—soaring!
Through
the trees
The
sky is orange, red, and grey
Covering
the fleeing blue stratosphere
As
the night suppresses the day.
The
birds fill the trees
Singing
their goodnights
As
I pull on a sweater
In
a shiver from the receding light.
The
setting sun is a time of reflection
Of
the night and of the day
A
balance of both places
In
the sunset’s doorway.
