Ocean Treasure

Oh ocean of that long-gone embryo Careening stormy erratic, to pacific Ever sculpting in navy-wavy trance Atop your peaks diamond ambrosia Never-never dreams, you've grown ~ Troughs, they stripped fear’s heart Rendering a wanderer, now braver Enameling away sea-shine opaline as Nautili curling their striped sola Soak me up to float down in blues undulating in the sunk, spilled sou roughened in a barnacle-concealer Estuary-rich, unfurl the flowing life ~ (11/13/2020)
