Dripping Starlight

A way to see once more

the land I always loved,

among the waves,

islands come few

I am at home floating on ocean

I couldn't keep my home

on solid land,

no rocking,

I need the gentle waves,

the storms,

I couldn't be at peace,

on stable ground,

that stands still in all seasons,

each color of the mind

needs unconfined flight

and a trail

to part the seas,

to find new road

leading to underwater garden

of magic memories.

***

They stay hidden with mermaids,

the things that move my soul

I wouldn't trust them in a song

to living spirit

on seashore.

***

I am my own

more than I ever dreamed

when feet can't touch ground

anymore,

when ocean's will

takes me to new heights

and each doubt

melts in turquoise caress

one wave, the next,

I know the ones that call my name

they are my friends

as I am bound

to sunshine

in the sea,

no end

and no beginning.

***

Now is tomorrow

the road back

lost in foam,

storms washed away all anger

I glow in new sunlight,

a rainbow gust

raining emotions

painful and wild

free and unchained

if I am meant to mourn

I can hold on

to ocean twilight.

***

This is where I belong

and linger,

lush green exchanged for emerald

mountains turned into waves

that whisper,

there is no end to hope at sea

wishes can dwell in sunset breath

a morning gentle hug

won't take away the heart

that felt true,

shared mist of once more

I choose to step ahead

on water.

***

This may not be the road

I knew,

but it's the one I choose

to carry my dreams,

to blue moon.
