"Over love's depths only the surface is wrinkled."

I Look Out Over The Timeless Sea

Poetictouch uploaded a new video: I Look Out Over The Timeless Sea.

by R. S. Thomas (1913-2000) I look out over the timeless sea...
over the head of one, calendar
to time's passing, who is now open
at the last month, her hair wintry.

Am I catalyst of her mettle that,
at my approach, her grimace of pain
turns to a smile? What it is saying is:
"Over love's depths only the surface is wrinkled."
