Atlantis

by Anne Engelen

Flooded

by never ending rain

Sunk

to the bottom of the center of being

 

Now

Only my cells remember

 

The truth

Of

the legend

cells having memory, such an impact. Beautiful.

mmmm... the use of the words "cells"... minute but still life-building. And that they would remember the truth of the legend, not the other way around. Hmmm, Miss Anne. You've got me nailed to the wall with this one. incredible.

Interesting poem, I dont see this as a relationship (though it could be) but as something different.

A deep & introspective poem Anne. Hidden meanings, and sufficiently cryptic to make the reader think..."Was she talking the situation I've been through?" ...nice work! ;)

This sounds like burying some thing deep. Like the legendry myth of the Atlantis. The colors confirms this burial. And this is a positive sign.

The truth of this legend is truly profound.

beautiful depth in this Anne...perfect color touch as well. Nice job.

The color change works beautifully. The sinking and burial of a legend...from the light waters deep down to the lightless. "Now Only my cells remember The truth" - if only there were a translator in our midst. Very insightful piece and meaningfully beautiful to look at as well.

I marvel at how you so artfully fathom the core of your being. In these two latest poems you connect yourself and US with the Earth and our speciestory...

I visit Lemuria from time to time. There, they speak of Atlantis never having been lost. I'll tell them you said, hello. Much like Alantians, your beautiful poem resonates on a higher plane. Pe4ce...

Lady Anne, I echo what Maureen said above, there is more beauty in this poem than any flood can e'er think diminish or wash away.
