You and the new world,
Spices and flavors,
Never before tasted,
Never before seen,
Up close and uncharted,
Hidden shoals, sure to scuttle a ship,
Curvacious coastline, with dark water bays,
While eyes daydream beyond inland heights in sight, yet
To anchor and rest, from the test,
That both life and ocean travel,
Divest,
The spirit of a sailor,
Who fears returning from the sea,
Unemployed,
Toyed with, as he sits or stands on dry land,
The new world and you, cries out to the explorer in me,
Not a voyage of conquest,
But a journey of discovery,
Where everyday would be a new and exciting adventure,
But no ship has yet been built for this passage,
As time ravages, both the day and the night,
Always chasing dreams
Being startled awake,
By the shifting tide, moon driven,
As the suns' rise blinds the eyes
On every misty morning,
All in white envelopes,
No ship to sail into the unknown,
The reams of dreams from the night before
Held out of sight offshore,
Out of reach
Of memory,
Of you and the new world,
No flag unfurled,
No banner to be raised,
The riches that lay, so far away,
Are not treasures, but to be treasured,
Want not to be owned, rather unfettered,
Explored, in adoration,
At the mercy of your deep wilderness,
The new world in you
A mystery, calling my name from the tide pools,
Such as life and...
Liberty, and love ...and for....
