confounding illusions, confusing time…
effervescent waves foam
like cappuccino drifts on beds
of translucent dreams

stirring the waters of mundane memos
etched on canvasses of streams,
drawn from memories of brighter days
filled with hope’s illusory schemes

wafting in shallows, seeping from shrouds
of sea tern hidings, echoing the wild call
of driftwood memory, washed white
by the strength of the tide’s sullen flow

calm sounds of repose reverberate…
stillness reigns when moon-strength ebbs
and flights of fancy hibernate
in subterranean caverns of sleep

Each time I picked a verse to comment on, I traded it up for another, ever more stunning one...might as well have copied the whole thing LOL

This one was very sensual to read...
Geez, I loved the whole thing!
