Flood
The dash of salt on my cheeks
will disappear in one splash,
but the stream of consciousness
that quietly cascades from hidden peaks
will require a flood of Biblical proportions
to wash them clean .

The imagery you use is so evocative!
I agree this poem is evocative. The line “a flood of Biblical proportions” cinches this poem for me.
Thank you, Maggie and Lisa! I appreciate your kind words.
