Thanks Liam for your lovely comment on my poem. Sharing this to my page so I can remember the phras that I really like - a combination of turmoil and tranquility 🌻

So appreciative of the amazing work Catherine Ann Cullen has done to encourage regular poetry writing - thanks for this gorgeous prompt of #invisible.

Maura, the title is profound as is the life’s journey that each of the locations represent and how seamlessly you draw us to a particular place, a particular emotion ‘The sea was telling me I had to forget in order to rest.’ And yes, pay heed or not!. Captivating. 👏👏
