The Amber Forest
When the gray city oppresses me
when the sounds of traffic
and shouting people intrude,
when it all seems to close in....
I drift back to the ocean in my mind
where beams of sunlight
glimmer through liquid crystal
where giant kelp bows in the current
and a rainbow of fish gather to hunt and play
I too belong in the amber forest;
for there the infinite aqua mirrors my soul.
