ENDLESS

Today I talked to a dear friend on the phone. He asked me if I've been writing any poetry lately. I said no...

When our phone conversation ended, I started typing and here's what landed on the screen. This ones for you MIKEE;-)

Soul entranced by any and many... other than you

Be still my friend, for it's almost the end

Of this short journey taken by the long road

away from home and closer to the sun

It's bright in the warmth of her beams

Indeed the clouds try to win over this light of day

Billowing in their beckoning way

Enraptured in the trance of such

As the 7th sea meets her oceans mouth

I'm crying out...

Like a gull for its next meal

Saunter South in these months of cold

I shall find the warmth on blind rock beds and shallow shores

Just like the sound of tides ebb and flow

I'm running so far from edge

I can no longer see the white caps telling me to come home

Tantalized by the succulent nectar fruit growing on branch-less trees

I'm warned of frost being near

My shoes are lace- less

and my head close to faceless

Wander I do, through the thick of night and moons whispered breeze

All of these years have turned over leaves

Falling down and landing

In every direction of my compass rose

Held in hand, enclosed in tattered wear

I'm searching for stars on land

Roaming fields with few slivers of golden grass blades

Dried by the heat of the sun

Summers end is growing past

Brilliant she was and soon she will be again

Nurturing the flower and her open bloom

A scent I yearn for

Over mountains and valleys divine

I'm coming around the dips and turns

Just to get a glimpse of her stature

Brimming over me like warm Sunday coffee

She's fast and seldom furious in her ways

Like mother nature natural

Her name is soul and she lives eternal

Like everlasting gobstopper infinity

Absorbent like sea sponge

Keeping me on the search for endless...

ENDLESS
