Intermission Break: the Flow

"The Flow"




I walked into the Ocean today
the Wind was wild whipping up the waves
like lemonade white horses riding into shore
I tread water, the Aquamarine was a washing machine 

While someone else’s kids raced by me out to the break
the wind bit my face, I submerged myself then resurfaced

I became sad when I thought about the Fraz

I swam out to the deep I was very brave
forgot about monsters with sharp teeth 
dreamt they were all fast asleep 
bellies full of other dreamers

Sharp Teeth were nowhere near my feet,
They were lying supine snoring at the bottom of the deep

Balmoral was a breeze I was free
feeling guilty it was me in your sea

I floated on my back and just went with  the flow 
had a little cry, the Ocean took all that salt in 
there was nowhere better for it to go
the Sun burnt me up 3rd degree inside real slow

The Seagulls circled above grinning 
Yellow crested cockatoos in the big Moreton Bay Fig 
like tiny pterodactyls screaming, water crystal clear 
angel fish, puffers and blue bottles spinning always near  

One can only love
One can never save
But there is the grace of forgiving

I walked into the ocean today
I thought about being brave

Thought about visiting 
the Mermaid’s Cave
another day another night
Finding starfish hiding under treasure rocks

Find Silverfin and take his fin
Fairy Bower and swim in your Fair Light

Lady Labyrinth March 30, 2019 at 6:08 PM “I have been feeling very clearheaded lately and what I want to write about today is the sea. It contains so many colors. Silver at dawn, green at noon, dark blue in the evening. Sometimes it looks almost red. Or it will turn the color of old coins. Right now the shadows of clouds are dragging across it, and patches of sunlight are touching down everywhere. cont'd

Lady Labyrinth March 30, 2019 at 6:07 PM White strings of gulls drag over it like beads. It is my favorite thing, I think, that I have ever seen. Sometimes I catch myself staring at it and forget my duties. It seems big enough to contain everything anyone could ever feel.”Anthony Doerr, All the Light We Cannot See

Lady Labyrinth March 30, 2019 at 6:05 PM “if the ocean can calm itself, so can you. we are both salt water mixed with air.”

Lady Labyrinth March 30, 2019 at 6:04 PM “The sea is emotion incarnate. It loves, hates, and weeps. It defies all attempts to capture it with words and rejects all shackles. No matter what you say about it, there is always that which you can't.” Christopher Paolini, Eragon
