In storms of perfect gathering upon these mystic trends
Designs that well with certainty and to the day appends
This hunger breeds a restless dream so deep within the night
Tears of longing leave the deepened darkness in their wake to light

Astounded by the waves and bound my heart will not release
Each night is warmed in arms of love that will not still or cease
White water crests inside my chest, and ache will not sedate
In sudden heaves to well before each calm and sinking state

And every tidal reckoning into the face of starlit flights
Into these arms to scramble when tides fare harshest rites
In solitary interlude especially these oceans bring
In seas of never ending, pure the white-capped surf will sing

For changes of the levels and the pressures soon dismay
In calm as glass distinctions to the depths the heart can play
For every over board and every navigation clear
The rise and fall of levels lasting, through the wind to steer

(smiles) Oh Kathleen, this is so gorgeous, sweet friend, I would love to go sailing upside-down and right-side up!

May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,

You know that you would have made an awesome sailor back in the days of
wooden ships,  iron men and women
of fair skin....  I do believe you would have.

And you have used a plethera of metaphors
in your poem of a love that eludes but is
not lost...  Turn to Port!!!!

Applauding loudly!

The stars will shine when I am gone,
the earth will turn on as before,
the gulls, still race along the shore,
the morning star, still kiss the dawn
