Ports Beyond the Storms

Did you find that port
where the sea greets the land
with pearls and sparkling fishes?

Was the voyage you took to get here
full of storms or near misses?

In the autumn woods were there truffles
or sprained ankles?

Does your soul roam
though you stay at home?

When your ship arrived
did you sigh as if at journeys end,

or did you weigh anchor
for a new port, a new friend?

Interesting questions best experienced based on pleasant ports from your past, I suppose. Very nice!
