Stillness

Topics: classic

Invitingly, the sea shines her stars,         captive flames within an impatient heart         as darkness loads the pleasent isles with coarseness,         slow sparks rise over a roaring fire.         And strolling beaches near dawn         when the sand fleas & crabs are seen to flee,         one catches upon the imperfect stillness         a song of one - wind with sea         drawning near         inward, such stars turn         as bonds at last         worked free.
