Pass the Light House

~ CALYPSO ~

Odyssey of the open ocean 
Eclipsing the performance of Heaven's delight 
A beautiful name whispered along the night 
Calypso enhanced with enchanted lullabies 
Sweet silver streams, dreamy epic diamond dreams
Serendipity falls in like mist, under the majestic marble moonlight
Calypso, you belong to--
--Sunsets of the secret sea. 
Mysterious-- many precious places to go, 
Calypso --free flowing, floating legend! 
Ride the beastliness breeze above the sea 
Whisper, Calypso come for me! 
Beautiful Comforting, Calypso Carry me! 

Reflections easily deliquesce into thin air
Sedating the open waters -Voyage- view 
Visionary Vessel above liquid level, 
as divine in spirits she sails. 
CA-LYP-SOO-- Nymph Nature Name 
Aquatic belief-----------------------
CALYPSO, the journey of all journey's 
For all eternity----------------------

Yep, you did it again, PD. I'm not a fan of being on big bodies of water, but boy, you sure gave the sea a soul in this poem. Made me wanna go adventurous on the open waters. Great poem w/the usual divine imagery flowing from your pen. You creativity never ceases to amaze me. I would love to be an apprentice under your feet ... hey, that didn't quite come out right ... lol. You know what I'm trying to say. Happy New Year. May love light your path to peace always.
