Somewhere Beyond the Sea

There will be found
the river, the ocean
waves upon waves upon swells
as the wind blows life into its
heaves and lows

and not a buoy
not a raft not
driftwood

so loved
for what it is...

...found

this humble poem
contains a puddle
of ideas
murky with sentiment

~

but your ocean
is painted with poetry
and a water color monalisa
smile so familiar to me
and etched with words
on the wildest waves

words waiting for peace--
that mirror of the gods
the ocean at rest
on Sunday morning
as our feet are the only ripple
seen, laughing and spreading
like truth
like proof
of what will always be

and so still you float,
in the blue green sea
waiting for no one

because all who love you
all who you know

float there beside you
always
somewhere
beyond the sea
