               Enigma

Emotions and oceans, entwine
To lullaby a golden fleece
With time and mind the concubine
Making the cradle sway caprice.

Death strikes like a stone on a pond
Trough and cave and stipple and wave
Circling out in ripple respond
Into infinity the grave.

Stars above in harbinger sit          
And ring it like an opiate.

Lot of rippling in this one...soft, liquid ripples...a force happening through silence...

long may your pen wave....

Your eyes~you see everything
