Dark as my eyelids close,
I feel the blue perpetuate the tangled nodes,
Laying on the bricks in the afternoon,
Sleeping on the floor for the month of June.
Warm, as the cool breeze traces
Above the sheets to uncharted places.
Lightness, as I stand composed,
Evening follows quickly as the darkness grows.
Leaving with the wind as it sings to me,
Whispering what I can’t conceive
My harbors not closer.
I left you on the shore where
Maiden grass grows
And a steady breeze that whispered
With a gale in toe.
As the water seeps up from the ground,
And the shoreline breaks onto the sound I look.
The traffic of arcane sands
Driven by the storm
Reaching out to pull you landward
Into Calypsos arms.
If I’m swallowed, brought back to the sea,
I will be carried back.
Grasping, I have reached my home,
True to where the mighty hawk tailed arrows flown.
Crawling from the sea,
The towering waves fade away.
My voyage is over.
