In faded water colored thoughts
Circular influences bouncing around and about
This restless mind bent on creation
Yet weary and ready for rest.
Shell patterned symbols
A Nautilus from somewhere deep down below
Where currents move gently
Like familiar images of dreams.
I gaze into their recesses
Following in deeper and reaching the end
Turning a thought over and moving back out again,
Like silent tides unwitnessed,
Still do their thing regardless,
moving back and forth, rocking like a lullaby
And though the moon is a distant friend
It still waits for our busy lives
To slow down
And gaze upwards into round orbs that create destiny
Just in their being.
I sit in the peace of a moment stolen
Content for the souls that move round,
In and out like an ocean treasure
Leaving a smile
Or a quiet gentle reminder
That I hold in my heart
Forever after
Till they come round
Once more.
