To Covet
I want to go down rivers of no return for paddling upstream is a waste of a precious stroke! I want to walk through dense forests, dark as the universe and emerge in the light of understanding! I want to climb Mt. Everest, even if in my mind’s eye; I want to feel its chill, the lightness of its air,...

A Spirit Rises Up
Dangling from the aftermath of loss my soul aches and troubles me I am a walk through confusion and uncertainty; yet I see clearly. And a Spirit rises up consuming my being giving me a reason to be! Freedom is found behind a new door and opened with the turn of a key But I remain unchanged and...

Two Flights of Stairs
Each night I climb two flights of stairs to reach my loft observatory to view the stars! I have done this for three scores and the answers remain hidden in the epoch of time, in endless space... There are charts, charts and more charts of days gone by, days I thought I had it solved, my astral path...

The Captain's Quarters
Hoist the sails, catch the fleeting winds of Carnality. Stave off the anchor, the ocean floor approaching. A captain's wheel, a turn of fate. The rudder, an endless righting of indeterminate Course of requited passion. The seas of indecision have the vessel CRESTING AND FALLING CRESTING AND FALLING...

When The Phone Rings At 2:30 A.M. ~~~~ It Can Be Harrowing Or ...
My son called from Seattle to let me know he would be home by 9:30 a.m.; He left the ship early because he had been to sea since February with a five day break. Suffice it to say his nerves were shot. He needed a break because he will be returning in October to be a deck hand. His trip from the...

A Tranquilizing Effect
I detected the aromatic essence and ingested its tranquilizing effect. The titillation exalted me among the clouds and left me to personify my thoughts. Wrapped in the soothing mist of the clouds about me I contemplated my intoxication. The effects were everything I had been looking for in a...

In Dimmest Light
It’s uncanny how the poorest parts of town sport the dimmest light! Dingy! The passers-by huddle as though guilty of a petty crime; you know they haven’t a dime — yet they huddle like petty thieves in a listless clime! The rooms, stacked one upon another have the dimmest light! Dingy! The folks...

Maxom Dome
I sit here in my own essence [very unique to recognize this] I’ve never asked myself who am I, who I am, I am whom — Never had a chat with myself either. Not even inquired of my own health not on a sunny day not on a cloudy day not even on a lazy day — I don’t believe I know who I am even though I...

Off the coast of Ireland
In times of stormy weather he carries two things, [possess the power], ice-cold passion, the low beat of tom-toms. Strange, there’s a new young moon — the moon still sends its mellow light. In ships all over the world desire weaves its fantasy of dreams. I wonder how it feels — the land?... and now...

An Unwritten Invitation
I see the fog all about; the air is so heavy on this eerie night. Each breath I take, somewhat baited, leaves me gasping, mildly, for the moisture satiates my lungs making them full. Then my mind playing tricks with my mind intrigues me so. But is it cruel intentions nonetheless? Thoughts enter,...
