Thirty Five

Because of a bit of a head cold and all that, I’m not up to speed with Emily to bring you another little diamond today. Instead, here is a more recent poem out of the draft drawer, which I hope you can make something good from. It doesn’t have a title yet, but one may come to me later.

Let me tell you all about 
The pleasures
Of the
Sea

To navigate
To consecrate
To bury deep and free

Return to love
Return to life
Turn the helm to sea

It’s only true because
it is a dream
In which we float

It’s only true because
we are the surface
Of the sea
Of the
Dream
