Notes About The Poem

Living the fantasy

When loud and clear the open sea beckons,
the heart replies and reaches out.
Escape towards vast nothingness
is the true cure to all that ails.
Each sunset rocks our boat into the night
as we are drawn, immersed into the surreal ~
the world left far behind, a universe away.
