The Sea

Rowing in the wooden dingy,
My arms recall 
The lost days 
Of ocean voyages,
And all at once I remember 
The emerald green 
Phosphorescence 
On night watch....
And the midnight sound 
Of dolphins breath 
Those princes of the sea 
Who were enamoured
With our wake....
Heaven!
A salty world of endless horizon 
A million shooting stars
Defining a possibility of their worlds,
Victorious were we 
Gliding along
Visitors on an incandescent world 
Atop the throne of mermaids from days gone by
