Sea Echo's My Name

Transparent of darkness of the sea touched only briefly
state of lonely madness in disfigured shadows
bowed moonlight mastering feats of fathom light that is calling so swiftly.....

I plant feet deep unto the bright that are traveled in sweeping waves
more reluctant butterfly of the fathom of light
I have begged to fly into the bittersweet swells
misty future to forsake floating unseen creatures
in the stormy seas ...

I preferred to stare to the future and bury my eyes
from the nonchalance of living things and lies
that face others on this living night....

Thoughts that never left a simply poet like me
calling mysteries to explore holding on to answers
with all my heart in the fathom light of the sea that echo's my name...
