Upon the dock of spellbound hearth
the mind slips into an afternoon’s salient stream of thoughts,
scuba diving for the enchantment of furtive mermaids,
feeling the soothing tides bring their charms
to sail nostalgia current towards serenity’s shoal,
dipping the soul in the calming waters,
which wash over life in the silky swells of surrender.
Artifacts of innocence litter by whims in reflection’s artistry,
bedecking the seascape’s stillness
in the soft caresses that cleanse
the clamor of yesterday’s barking seals.
A passage taken where the heart voyagers
from a shore of vacillating euphoria
and onto a sailor’s course in quietude’s quenching.
