TRUE BLUE

Aqueous and Azure
A Blue Horizon
Of Ocean and Sky
Limns the World’s Soul.

I’ve spent time
At these fringes
Messing about
Surfing waves.

Enchantment ignored
I demanded energy:
Off-shore Wind
Waves and rising tide.

For thirty years
I practiced my ineptitude.
Now the ineffable Ocean
Offers another Prospect.

My Life lived
For half a century
At the Pacific’s
East or Western Gate -

The Design of All
These many days Apparent.
The Aqueous and Azure
Holds my gaze.

Enthralled in Presence:
I await the parting
Of this cerulean veil
To reveal an Eternity.
