Barge Reef

Barge Reef Barge Reef lies isolated at worlds end by chance Wedges of sharp rocks fill in what ocean can’t Eighty foot waters roll at a distance out Waves say hello on cresting white Coral formed and bleached silent Created from living life forms On the wrong side of the island according to the charts West of Barge is open seas Liquid wonders that follow the world around A tumbled dance Storms pound constantly there creating havoc Waves take naps much later beneath the deep Descending back around Rolling into a slumber as cool brushings over surface Calm winds take a breath Ships find their corner of the world in blue Slip Into delinquency, there, slow to rise Sun finds the horizon hot Jellying through mist Mystification sets in, as it morphs through morn There, so easy to find a new day in abundance solar bound Creaking ships never land but crash on Barge with jagged reefs Sharp coral stand pure white on the vestibule of shards Sojourning innocently forward Ambling along with wood debris To that end, begins in splinters sober float And with it, seas fold over on the likes of Barge
