  FELLOW LOVERS

  *
  

  We are
  fellow lovers
  of the sea.
  Because of
  her
  infinity
  to all she gives
  fidelity.

  ANCHORS AWEIGH

  *
  

  The breaking of the day
  Light oer the sea
  makes its way.
  Wind counterpoints
  the 'anchors aweigh!'
  as it fills our sails
  and
  from across the bay
  takes us blissfully away.

  SANDSTITCHING

  *
  

  The sea sandsifting
  Birds sandshifting
  The wind sanddrifting

  but the grass....
  sandstitching

  SAILSTARRED SANDSIFTING SEAWEED-SCRIPTED SEA

  *
  

  Sail-starred, shell-shored, stream-swelled
  sand-sifting, seaweed-scripted sibilant Sea
  secedes silently, softly

  Shadowed shallows sheathing scallops,
  sheltering seals, shielding scuttling snails,
  shrouding sharks. Sands shifting secrete starfish,
  scampering shrimp.

  Serene Sea supports Spanish scows, Sicilian
  skiffs, Senegalese schooners, Seychelles ships,
  Sardinian sculls.

  Saltsmelling sailors see soaring shrieking
  seagulls, striped sunrise, shining sunset,
  shshshing surf.

  Sudden surprising storm's symphonic sounds
  slap shore shacks. Snows slip seaward, spring-subdued.
  Soon sloop slides spiral sleep stairway.

  
  

when i was just an irresponsible fetus

To see the dark in me was to see the light
To set fire to my head was to cleanse my soul of a husk 
To sell my mind to ascension was a must 
It's how I saw there is no us

There's simply One

I saw Infinity within the eye
The spark of the cosmos is how to see what's right
To do that was to become alive
And the hardest thing i've done my whole life
So far i'm thankful for the warm morning sunshine
I grin knowing one day this shell will die

I miss being able to fly
