cascading waves of sea-dance waste
sun sipping from the fountain of furtive waters
brining in the midst of promises kept
strands of garland mark the hero’s track

as clouds of sand-work meet the handiwork of God
legions of rock-dust inhale the soul
and the sigh that breathes out walks alone
in customs that do not breed humanity

that breach the psyche and unhinge the heart of hope
in solitary alignment unknown to the compass of fear

confining ability to the vestibule of promises
yearned for,  but never welcome at the scene of the sea

as waves cascade with sea-dance waste
leaving their wake on the path not taken

Oh, Steaven, I am there, breathless with all 6 senses on tip-toe, and I have absolutely no intention of leaving.  I don’t need to regret the path not taken, nor the demise of the hero, nor the solitude, nor the hopelessness, if I can stay here forever, encircled by this living, breathing theatre that stretches all around me to the very edges of eternity.

Legions of time awash in this elegant well presented poem.
I love the honesty and capture of the power in this.

Eric

the assured expectation of things hoped for, the evident demonstration of reality though not beheld
