Maverick - Emotion vs Sentimenality

Maverick

We touch
and from the darkest depth
at the ocean’s floor
a rumbling, churning,
a tumbling, yearning,
begins climbing
         to the surface.

A frothy surging sea
builds to its crescendo
changing colors
along the way.
Ineffable as it hangs . . . .
until it can hang no more
then curls
         tumbles
                   and rolls
to crash upon the shore.
                   ~~Judi Van Gorder
