Starts

All poets start somewhere...
good ones never finish – 
all poems subject to theme,
mapped or an impulse just to
travel~ wherever...I think we
met somewhere in the 
Wherever, years of treasure
found with fond entry and
regress, the tempering of 
loving hearts – 

best poems nourished by each
ensuing reading, strengthened 
by shared affection – freed to
a sea of greater consciousness,
where all verses end up, to float
or sink – a writer's journey of buoyancy and
beached whales – 

so, here is another of mine, I turn
loose with sails. May those often tempestuous
winds blow kinder – Asking for graceful gales,

from nets this work remain un-snared – 

from shores countless sands, unnamed, by gentle
eddy~ be thou spared!

The second verse says much! Nourished by further reading, enjoyed with affection, we are affected…is the writing buoyant or a beached whale.
