Patterns
T daniels Oct 2018
I follow the patterns of the fish,
And the borders of the ocean,
The tidal waves movement,
And the coastal erosion.

I see the seabirds sing near
The mangrove forest,
We’ve altered the bays,
Now we can't ignore it.

Poseidon- king of kings,
Let us not be shipwrecked
By your trident and offerings.

The fluctuation of life
And the mixing layers,
The coral and gems,
Won't answer our prayers.

Although we know the price
Of a world without waves,
Will poison ourselves
Until the last of our days.

storms
T daniels Oct 2018
The storm seems to be over:
Tender droplets of water,
Make their way down thy windowpane,
As soaked hills, swell in the distance.

The Green Mountains, bulging out of the earth.
I must be brave like the men of Dunkirk.

Do not be afraid of the animal spirit
It's hard enough looking in a mirror,
So let us make amends as we pray.
Gabriel, Your watch is over.

Storms might be over
But never done.
Do not be afraid.

Let them gaze at the withering surface
Let them be strong in the face of power
Let them be meek in the company of cowards
Let them be free.
Amen.

The sea in evening
Eyes, inhabiting coastal patterns
As gannets descend,
And rise again across the ancient skyline.

A stranger in some melancholy town,
Full of brooding faces,
And cobblestone streets.

We stood at the edge,
For hours as the western winds
Traveled toward our tawny figures.

Flesh, waning. Wishing it everlasting.

What lies over the bronze horizon,
What lies beneath oceanus?
