Common Ground

Glitter blue star water.
Azure liquid descending
through slow-motion miles
of darkness to it's deepest part.

A place where watercolor creatures
weave brilliance in an instinctive
choreographed destiny.

Common ground on board.
Links and life connections
on a ship carried by the massive sea.

White-hot sun bounces from
chrome and lacquered decks.
Humanity in bright colors.
Transient dance in ocean imitation.

He stands in isolation and contrast.
Clothed in white.
Seasoned sailor who
breaths familiar salt air
and contemplates his life's passion
for traveling the world.

His eyes are as blue
and clear as the water he loves.
Age does not deter anticipation.

There'll be dinner and dancing
and musical soft night breezes
and a full moon to light
the old man's last voyage.

Beautifully penned Janet...this is just as lovely as one of your beautiful watercolor paintings. Do I see your Dad there on the deck? Simply beautiful calm imagery at its finest.....

You have seasoned the 'old salt' well. To a sailor, all ships are 'common grown.'
