Premium MemberMariners

...Mariners in our wanderlust,
We sail beyond the horizon’s curve.
Fearful, we dare the briny deep
Out of faith in the dreams we serve.

Rough-hewn by years of knots and coils,
Our hands hoist up ...

The Returning Soldiers

...I've felt Daren's absence for years,
a most unforgettable memory:

Unbound and unmeasured by obstinate sailors
Who drift while confronting ungrappled emotions

drunken with sage,
don't bite on bark

before snow fell on the evergreen pines and spruces,
