Free Verse

When stars

Lay claim

To sky

Watch and

Do nothing

A ship breaks

All on its own

Dashed upon

Jagged rocks

Dreaming you

Takes its toll

Coins paid in

Stolen dreams

Hot, restless legs

Twist-tied in

Sweaty sheets

Become some

Black sails

So I may

Float away; leaving

Familiar shoreline

For fathomless depths

Seeking sunrise

No destination

Just peace
