I was made
To venture undulating time
And chase the tides forever facing forward
Through glinting waves by unknown shores
I migrate
The oceans’ warm currents for
Thousands of miles yearly, continuing
Always onward, always embraced by water
I am
The mighty blue marlin mirroring a sight
Of the blue heavens above, divinely
I was created to breathe and to glide
As this ocean life’s own,
Yet by His magnificent, pure Holy design,
I am
Powerful, challenging, defying death often
I leap
Above the rolling waves into radiant light
As water gleaming streams off my sides
Over the scars of hooks still there by fishers’ tries
I am a blue marlin
Born and destined to survive for decades
In sparkling waves observed by my sparkling eyes,
Loving the eternal swim through His created
Waters that brought our planet to life.

A smile
A guitar
A rolled up cig
A voice that sings
At every gig
A mind that travels
Beyond this plain,
A sense of humor,
Sometimes insane...
A devotion
To daughters
Of whom he was
so proud,
A tendency never,
to talk too loud
Words and thoughts
Wise beyond his years,
Human suffering
That brought on tears
Mark T...
His Gors nickname
"Marlin"
I wonder if he liked to fish,
One thing's for sure,
I truely wish
He did still tread
This earth, a world
so grand,
I was oh so privileged
To be in his band.
