It swirled, like an eddy, from deep below

Took everything with it, in the undertow

Gulls hovered over, in awe of the sea

Tried hard, not to become, what would be

Such turbulence, they had never seen

Deep in the waters, this swirling green

Pristine white, its crests swayed, to and fro

How much it would engulf, was hard to know

We watched from above, afraid to go near

Lest the sea swallowed us, this we did fear

Mesmerized by its beauty, awed by its sight

It activated our senses, to flee out of fright

Still, there we waited, wondered, would it make good

Then we watched it take over, the place where we stood

Some things with directions, I’ll admit, are a riddle

So instead of reading them, I quite like to fiddle

Hoping it comes out, like the picture on the carton

But most times it leaves me feeling disheartened

He hides in the grass, neath the barren tree

Watching, waiting, but he still doesn’t flee

The sound of shotguns, pierce the fresh air

To show himself now, he wouldn’t dare

Alone in the meadow, not another nearby

He knows if he stays there, he may just die

But also, to move, could seal his fate

He’d have to stay, right there, and wait

For his doe had met her imminent demise

This came, unfortunately, as no surprise

As he remembers, sadly, the reason why

She had been taken, by another guy

Once upon a never, such moments, lived in strife

She’s always chasing rainbows, lost in another life

Dreams become illusions, fantasy fills her days

Leaving her wanting, and restless, in so many ways

Stuck inside, a mindless state, impatiently, she waits

For emptiness to fill the hours that time cannot abate

My
Light glows
In the night
Electric dreams
Creating the spark
Igniting the spirit
Within this human being
Causing visions, vivid, to shine
And dance about in spectral fashion
