That is a very illustrative photograph focusing entirely on the single image of a cool lap. But in the poem itself what strikes me with special force is the verb - YEARN. Just the sound of that word seems to carry a long sigh, which is a key element of yearning - we take in a deep breath and then slowly exhale - and in that time span the heart misses a few beats as it feels the absence of its desired fulfillment. But it is the nature of yearning to be larger than any immediate satisfaction. We will always be aware of that gap between us and our fulfillment.Your poem gives me these thoughts. And I am grateful for such understanding.
