ANOTHER SHORE

 

On the ocean shore of an alienated aspiring soul,

Wild thoughts stampede like a herd of unsaddled horses,

They frolic on the foaming rocks, feeling they are whole.

Mare and stallion jostle in this sport on racing courses.

 

Sometimes the stormy waters become serene and calm,

Mirroring narcissistic life as in a magic pool,

Soon all lies quiet, without any trace of harm,

Even for my dinghy which transports this crazy fool.

 

When a sense storm breaks I flee to my cabin down below,

And batten down the hatches waiting for the clouds above

And rainbow entertainment, to swiftly fly and go.

I pray for the coming of Love's snow white turtle dove.

 

She flies by, bearing an olive branch of emerald green,

I stand and wait aboard my craft, patient, silent, still.

I've fled the rough tempest of mind's stricken struggling scene,

My dinghy's reached God's peaceful beach on quite another shore.

Bored to pieces

Doing what had to be done

To wile away slow-ticking time

Thing here and thing there.

 

And then

Without much warning

Tsunami -

Illusion, delusion, reality, nightmare, altogether

Bashed my bored bones

Fully awake.

 

Boredom fled

Time stood well utilized

No shortage of work

No matter what,

No result.

 

Tears, ravings, crazy maddening hysteria,

Time watched amused.

Tired of fighting, too tired to resist

Age-old lessons surfaced

Letting go, being carried, held outside the storm

she could bear no more.

 

Silly child, stubborn you

Thought you could go it alone

Didn't you?

 

Mesmerized, as in a dream

She watched him

Piece by piece, sew her millionth piece.

as i was strolling leisurely

along the waterline

of the ocean of existence

picking up and toying with

smooth pebbles

of concepts and ideas

digging

empty shells of discarded beliefs

suddenly

i was snatched

by a tsunami wave

of unconditioned passion

which bore me

helpless and supine

corpse like

far inland.

 

and then,

torn to pieces and gutted

i was carried back to sea

and lost without a trace

in the depths

of the endless ocean

of absolute

love
