Questing toward new horizons
Shielding my eyes from the sun
Vast ocean before me
Shores to learn my touch
Off on the tides
I’ll arrive by still winds
I’ve been drifting through the night….
Across the world within

Domains
Moving up into the shallows, just to know the sun
Unfamiliar chaos
Lights that rob my vision
Vulnerable, blind
I can hardly see a thing
I retreat
Back into the deep
I need peace
Leave me in the dark
If that’s the world above, I don’t want any part
Unknown
Am I out of touch?
Out of step?
Out of depth?
How many fathoms down am I in this abyssal trench?
Questions met with silence
Too few swim the waters that I myself reside in
Shying from light, shying from eyes
Hiding on the ocean floor
Pass over me on route to unknown, distant shores
I’m a primordial echo
Trapped in a place where the past comes to settle
Island Etchings
Someday I’ll stand on this small island and watch all the bridges burn
I’ll turn, take in the full three hundred and sixty degrees
I’ll breathe, taking in the smoke from my social pyre
I’ll feel higher
Finally above it all
I’ll sprawl, singular in my space
Tracing letters in the sand
No more fear of losing face
I’ll erase them with a motion
My little island etch-a-sketch
Alone in this vast ocean
Aqua-pearl
I’m just like an ocean
Coming, going as I please
Often quite predictable
Like any open sea
Not to say I’m boring
There are storms and deadly swells
Days of placid beauty
Like a drifting, timeless spell
Hell hath no fury like the mistress of the tide
Holding back the abyss
So many hundred fathoms try
Ache to swallow the world
Become one with beauty
Earth aqua-pearl
The Surface
Energy renewed
Drive put back in gear
No more going in reverse
Forward, facing fears
I no longer hear the doubts
They used to drown me out
Leave me standing ever still
Drifting further
Further down…
Now I’m surfacing
Clearing water from my lungs
How it hurts and stings
My eyes are burning
I know I’m alive
