Accustomed to the constant
raging motion, (or the big becalming)
of a life
in temperament,
so like the ocean,
I somehow fell asleep
inside this tiny, patchwork vessel
made of strife and snippets of dreams.
It seems I was adrift
until the gift of leaking at the seams
destroyed my dry indifference.
Seeking my position, I looked up.
Where stars had been before,
a score of pearls  began to whirl and dive,
then pecked my sail to tatters.
So, rudderless, my frail conveyance
drifted on to other matters.

Hmm. I think you were having not only snippets of dreams, but you must have been so blissfully dreaming soundly that your "ship" drifted far far away from shores.
Dream on my lady...

Thanks for taking time to read me! Streaming, dreaming, sometimes you just go with it, yes?

Smiles,

"So, rudderless, my frail conveyance
drifted on to other matters".

Any frailty you may have my dear is shored up by every breath you take.

Exquisite poetry.  

  

Here's to you and here's to me and should we ever disagree, here's to me!

Pete, thanks. I'll let you know when the next matter comes.


Mr. Martini, Thank you for your kind attention. So kind of you! It made me smile.
