Quietude

January 29, 2013 By Talya Tate Boerner 12 Comments

GBE 2 Blog-on: Week #89 Writing Picture Prompt: “Small Building by Water”

We met
there, our spot near
the shore, far from life, souls
washed in quietude, a million
years back.

    I’m useless at understanding poetry, but I love the idea of ‘souls washed in quietude’. Beautiful phrase.
