Adrift

Adrift, directionless
At the mercy of the tides
No time waiting
And no waiting smile
No guide in this hollow sky
My only friend the moon
Where, blinded by the sun
all dreams converge
Alighted In her moorings
I cast off my words
The currents stole me away
Then threw me back again
Where the swell buried my days
She rose in her shining
And steadied my sails
I followed her music
Beyond this desert
Of weariness, falter and fail
My course sat straight
As all things merged in their making
All stars became suns
All waves oceans
And my eyes the world
Cradled in their enfolding
I sailed amidst the ebb and flow
Clear as day above the undertow
Towards her waiting
Towards her song
I came
My wave kissed her sky
Then came crashing down again
