Carried away on some long forgotten sea vessel,
............ we drift;
not so much by error as purpose.

Extravagance swims by in the silvery form of a sea creature;
to me- foreign territory,
yet he knows each dip and wave
as if he created it...

Thousands of miles,
this watery palace,
stretching end to end,
waving and rolling along with no desire of
destination.....
Yet transports me from place to place-
always sure.

Refuge to a vast array of beauteous danger,
lore and forgotten souls,
its immense depth their presence shields with angered passion.

Yet, to the unfortunate wayfarer,
seeking exposure for her hidden treasures,
thunderous rage initiates that soul to join the
rest in this horrible
wonderful
grave....

....Returning to her former state of peaceful,
guarded beauty,
she beckons the universe to gaze from afar,
and to wonder only
in its heart about the mysteries of
the
sea.
