True North

The direction not the distance signifies, a single needle smitten by the sun sets bold trajectories which scare and stun unwitting and ungovernable eyes. Points of departure, points of no return, beginnings which intrigue both dull and keen, destinations flash, unsighted, seen, vistas known, and vistas yet to learn. The sea is home, the waves and sky above are comfortable with the kind of love it renders, be the weather harsh or kind. There is a kind of symmetry, e'en though the elements be blithe or brutal, even so, stay the course, leave foul weather far behind.

what an interesting rhyme scheme, and one i'd have a very hard time writing, but you've done an amazing job with it! i love some of your choices ("smitten by the sun" is my favorite) and am really taken with your work. write on! (thanks for your supportive comments on my poems, too!)

gosh, I guess I spoke too soon. Just looked and saw you had stuff going back at least until 2009. How come I haven't seen you before that??
