Amidst Amber Waves

So gracefully do amber waves
dance to and fro'
in their surreal waltz
beneath the billowing sails
propelling our existence
into blissful sunset.

I have yet to find such peace as
gazing upon those sails
searching for answers between
their ethereal and gleaming stitches

There skies the same as my own
intrepid, vast, infinitely unknown.
Haunting, yet beautifully existential
...inviting.

Casting amber rays upon me
in the midst of another sunset,
and embracing my slumber in the
shadows of hand hewn silver light.

My humble knee finds purpose
amidst amber waves this winter's eve.

Alas, I know who I am amidst all things.
I am a husband,
and a father,
A leader,
and a follower.

I am a patriot
and a poet...

Yet, I am still a child of God foremost
Ever enchanted by
amber waves,
billowing sails,
and His great unknowns.
