The vacant space upon times ethereal shores Has me asking if Odysseus has ever touched before ? The waves lapping , swirling sands across my feet Leaves me little gold that I might keep The thistle and thorns woven into a crown to wear Placed upon with such gentle care The shores all rock and cliff so high How can I just climb on by? Moments are dark , the sea will free Come follow to the ends with me The Isle is small just temporal best Back home from a ten year's quest He wades the shores and falls to knees She bends down to claim his ease They embrace the winds of time That binds them to the threads of mind

The Sands of Ithaca (a poem dedicated to a poet friend of mine named Ithica)
The vacant space upon times ethereal shores Has me asking if Odysseus has ever touched before ? The waves lapping , swirling sands across my feet Leaves me little gold that I might keep The thistle and thorns woven into a crown to wear Placed upon with such gentle care The shores all rock and cliff so high How can I just climb on by? Moments are dark , the sea will free Come follow to the ends with me The Isle is small just temporal best Back home from a ten year's quest He wades the shores and falls to knees She bends down to claim his ease They embrace the winds of time That binds them to the threads of mind
