By Melissa Walsh Blue bounty flowing fancy, pilfering chore Harkening I awoke to voices bellowing mission Come hither Ahoy, delight in enchanting wonders, perilous Mariner I welcomed reverie captive in aqua pura Blue-green light Where true untamed science spins allegory Mermaid songs I hear chronicles of souls rescued, ships wrecked Shifty winds Confined by waters ungoverned by the moon Sailors toil I see captain watching, steering, hollering ‘Helm a lee’ ‘Lee oh’ over unknowns unbound underneath Finding groove I acquire lessons of uncertain science Instincts honed Arrested from teaming confinement on shore
Exemption I leave guardhouse of civil duty, industry Costless breath Winds grant sailors passage to free adventure Asylum I climb aboard sailboat, lifeboat, bearing gifts Of longing Blue rouses memory to raptured eyes gaze Emprise hailed I breathe breezes, exhale encrypted logic Unspoken Crew hoisting, grinding, roaring, limited strength Community I ponder chaotic what for, wherefore, why for New belief Commandeering mind with tangible elements Stimulate I sail vulnerable, broken by hostile land Beckoning Blithely alone among crew in manmade vessel Triumphant Over water born from unknown bang confirmed Mystery We navigate winds that favor or betray Harmony Infinite treasure or stealth danger aroused We assail I hear laughter merge with lake hum, wind song Glee rising With spray covering tears shed from love and loss Despair washed I sense hope in rising sun, gull’s flight, fish’s leap Heaven come Delighting in sobering lake truth flashed in Sailor eyes © 2023 Melissa Walsh
