The Edge
"The Edge"
Beneath the surface
freedom flows
above the watermark
secrets shared
with the sky
only the ghost
knows
conversations of a man
on the edge of life
pondering ponds
the loud silent drowned pasts
and baptismal rites
spiriting water memories
rippling an entire
Ocean
home

“We are like islands in the sea,
separate on the surface
but connected in the deep.”
“Little islands are all large prisons;
one cannot look at the sea
without wishing
for the wings of a swallow.”
