Satisfied

Let the world of glory-seekers go with wealth and want ungratified, or find their treasure like a dearest beau in colored chaos under rainbows wide. I’ll be glad on islands, owing One. Oh, bring me sunset in a cup, the same I’ve had before. Tip o’er my soul and fill it up and let the […]

Though Sunlight Wanes

Sure though the light that led me through the day and hastens quickly to its wint’ry bed should deign to paint the clouds like kids at play: spilling flame and orange overhead, and though the shadows gath’ring round would dance their undulating coldness as the wane of mirthful brightness turns at last askance and closes […]

Under Surface

Turbulent and troubled waters, inky black the swelling ocean: bobbing up and chopping downwards as the sunlight sneaks away. Far beyond the water hillocks endless wastes of dark and deepness beckon to the weary swimmer etiolate of warming rays. – Down beneath the dipping wave splash thousand single fishes swiggle swept along by bubble currents […]
