Blue Depths

(2018)

An encounter with all that is life’s value draws close 
Reality will replace the lived nightmare 
No conversation 
One sided flow of reason and questions 

Favouring the occasions which end with embrace 
A soft graze warm on my cheek 
Finally gazing into the blue depth  
That I have searched the sea and sky for 

The sky lights my day 
The sea drifts me into sleep 

The blue depth is the warmest dream 
Quick to turn 
Shadows swell and apply tension 
To the harsh rope cutting in as it holds me back 

A moment to let hope run wild 
Why restraint  
Calm settles 
Clouds carry insecurities to a distance
