Image and analogy, the place for me
Sailing across this sparkling sea
Thoughts adrift and in mind’s eye
Painted white on azure sky
Curling waves tumble up the shore
Walking slowly, my hand in yours
Reaching down for shells and stones
Falling deep into a world alone
Talking, connecting until fading light
Crackling beach fire, star-filled night
…
Morning wakes to reality
Of the gift of life, bestowed on me
Perspective changed by visions dreamt
Bottled messages, heaven sent
Laying alone stretching out in bed
I tumble the words in my rousing head
Footprints eroding like tide on sand
Memory fading like the touch of your hand
Sailing across this sparkling sea
Image and analogy, the place for me
