Black, Blue's Dream of Knowing

Black, Blue’s dream of knowing Today, eyes heavenward, an unclouded blue unto eternity. Look up. Swim this fathomless sea far as perspective can carry. Leave behind L.A. Leave used shores brown as inversion’s earthbound air. Out past even the strongest of gulls. Beyond the reaching dust of wings, beyond soundings. Here, no news of polluted bays; no news of consequence of run-off. Treated effluvium of the massed means nothing to us oared, masted with eyes unbroken. Night, quiet eddy of the day’s blinking, is not the domain of dreams for nothing. Here, eyes unfocus fearless of shipwrecks.

Wow, Terry, skilled wordsmithing here. I can see "out past even the strongest gulls." And, I love the feel of "quiet eddy of the day's blinking."
