Out of Water

Out of Water - Prose

                        An easel, looking for the painter,
            Who brushed black iron horse life of survival
Tear stained face, wind slithering burning leaves with the sun.
Double twisted iron brought from the shore of the sea.

                        And was met fathoms deep change
Rode upon, I'm weary fracture pain, I'm with the wind
The sun tether the moments, now and then, on end.

      With no common sense, horseshoe drift crossed over the ocean.
            The ocean caught hold, late October's dark blanket.
                        Of Earth around the dark sea.

A monstrous haunting goes, changing scenes go round the horse. 
            Pressing on with wondering restless sea, twisted iron then about.
      Horseshoe penny hung around my neck.
                        The old horse's destination is already the past.

We’ll everything gets recycled. It’s fun to think of that. Some substances have pure magic and could be special to us.

A lot can be learned from a single piece of driftwood, or rusty iron shape washed ashore -- a lot to meditate upon...for starters, that all mad-made structures and ourselves in time are reclaimed by the earth, assimilated back into oblivion. Excellent read. Really made me think.
