Dozing the Depths
Written: February 26, 2024
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Our slumber, a rock falling swiftly overnight,
Embalms serene, steady air that breathes.
It shapes our days as a harbor of zeal bright,
From choppy seas as ethereal rage seethes.
Encrusted jewels beneath its surface gleam,
Emerald caskets clasped in diaphanous silk.
Here,

Ultimate mission (ofttimes possible)

Standing perfectly STILL on its
BLUE BED OF SKY.
What is the EYE, performing a

Dozing Petrels
Dozing petrels with soft plumage
drunken with sage,
don't bite on bark
when voices don't hark!

with some starlight!
