In My Dreams: My Home, the Sea

Swirling whirlpool of my mind Late-night jangled, stressful bind - To the coolness of my sheets I await whatever greets ... Half asleep and half awake - I leave my mind, for rest's sake I stop thinking, then I see - That which always waits for me. Bird-egg blue and mossy froth - Slightly cool and fragrant broth Beckons me, this ocean does - To escape from that which was. Heart awakens, then I dive - Blessed to feel so much alive! Peace, yet power stirs my soul - In this endless fishes' bowl. Colors rich and creatures rare Dangers grimace - I don't care ... Through the caves and liquid realms - Free, I wander, with no qualms. Someday forever, I will stay - Amidst this splendorous array Of silence reigning in the balms - My soul, the sea's embrace, it calms.
