I sail the high tides at night when the world sleeps and there is no one to speak my mind to These are the depths that captivate me, where I imagine captains navigating dreams, allowing themselves to feel what I feel I am drawn to such alluring fathoms, entertaining myself from the truth, for where might I be without the quixotic sailors in my life There would be no harbors, nor anchors, nor babes that leave me behind While all feels colorless in the ocean I know there are neon notions, hiding from a violent sun no matter the coral labels etched into my back I am one, craft undone, but I am many in a crazy sea where each is a castaway, off course and lying about it I know nothing of nations, they are all invisible to the naked eye I simply plot my course and question those that look at the stars and picture things that never happened While lies immortalize our gods, my origins my hinterlands, lie somewhere upon the floors of the deep and I just keep...trying...to write myself into the sand |

the entire poem was amazing, but this part was to me, especially significant I sail the high tides at night when the world sleeps and there is no one to speak my mind to These are the depths that captivate me, where I imagine captains navigating dreams, allowing themselves to feel what I feel outstanding! A spiritual journey it is to read you |

I am drawn to such alluring fathoms, entertaining myself from the truth, for where might I be without the quixotic sailors in my life There would be no harbors, nor anchors, nor babes that leave me behind While all feels colorless in the ocean I know there are neon notions, hiding from a violent sun yes.. it is violent sun.. and this.. revealing... always a pleasure my friend..and this is no exception... |

Reg, Your writing takes me places I seldom see. Thanks. If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again. |
