Astride a horse without a saddle,
tottering waves fetter deep,
Stallions leap ebbing tides
pulling my chariot
above
tottering waves fetter deep,
Stallions leap ebbing tides
pulling my chariot
above
wide still water..
high into midnight blue
Orion lights up spectacularly,
arms open to welcome me..
glide around the globe
in concert with
comet's queues
in concert with
comet's queues
Sailing the intergalactic
sea.. in a tall wooden ship,
navigating jewel hued
gaseous space..
gaseous space..
trail of nuggets of platinum..
where stars are born and succumb,
aligned with a hushed
Milky Way
Milky Way
Touring on escalated
tiers..past bold masterpieces -
palette of unnamed colors
painted by glittered brushes..
the debonair shores
of forevermore
painted by glittered brushes..
the debonair shores
of forevermore
Layered above earth's parade,
divine zines writ in full flush.
Blotter of ink spots at night,
Spying the origin
of salty brine,
eyeing twining thrushes,
practicing
evensong's
compline
of salty brine,
eyeing twining thrushes,
practicing
evensong's
compline

Once again in my journey through other people's creative minds, I fnd myself wondering, "Why don't I think like that?" and wishing that I did.
