North Shore
Through the pane we could react to a future
Held under the brightest star
In a sea glaze mass of imperfection.
At the back,
the harbor clanked and toiled our youth away.
Nights so careless in the beginning,
Became slower, burnished eyes fragmenting.
Down in the basement
Sea winds battered doors and opened fear.
Summer was omnipresent and beautiful.
Floating on the waves gave solace
When youth and ignorance leapt in.
The still quiet of the night,
The six mile stretch,
The beat of the tide in vision.
The composition.
Lying on the seagrass spree
Awakened in highlights,
In awe of being there.
Felt everything.
Walking along the small pier at night,
When the winds listened,
My soul in harness,
To transcend the night into living.
