Afloat
Set a sail the sea of blue for what
I know not why a cleansing maybe
Of my soul to cross the oceans wide
A Myriad of senses and visions ultrusive
Meaningless yet overpowering to the eye
And I the captain of this illusion of vital
Natural repetition wave after wave
A castaway of my own desire yet free
Cupped by the waters so wide and deep
At times cradling me to a wondrous sleep
Others thrashing my whole being
As if a hell bent force to leave me
Smashed upon a rock body and boat
A helpless lifeless molded heap
And who would know the gulls
First at the scene the crabs ah yes
Scavengers and then the waves
Would wash away the rest
Shake my head uncluttered the mind
This journey is not ready to end
Dolphins surround my frail vessel
As we sail into the sun such
Happy mammals of the blue sea
The dog barks I open my eyes
Someone’s knocking at the door
No more time to dream wake up
Get on with life’s daily chores
