Day Catching

Unflinching gaze belly flops in the ocean
White reserve, sea coils imperative songs
Like a relaxed arm of ravishing ivory

Overwrites, in a nightmarish world
Trying to get home
Weirdly cheerful with balm of puns
While cosmic Gods, set forth aesthetic options

There are times I sit and ponder the same questions Lee..
Very well written and much enjoyed.

Something tugs at me, I've no doubt of that.
Something from the sea, whichever one I'm near.
When I stray too far from beachland, it calls me back

...and as the day flows
will any of my questions
find answers...

I was going to copy some particular lines,
but the ending made me smile...

and I thought to myself, there she goes...

Questions asked since the beginning of time...will we ever know the answers?...A poem that touches the soul and makes one wonder anew...*big hugs*
