Requisition For a Berth

.

 

Lost in seas of misdirection
the traveler taps the compass willing the needle to life
as waves strain the smoking bilge

 

The salt is already circling the barrier
set upon the old laws
while the triangle
shells the circle
creating in and of itself


He hears the tambourines
and native drums cursing
or is it blessing
the triad

 

It is only known that
water refuses to wash away the sin
of long ago
and the clouds blanket the sky
denying even the slightest light

this is the tomb of the traveler
who dared what couldn’t be
and questioned
Why Not

When the symbolistical meets the impressionist and the surreal
gives enter to an ontological picture, knowledge express itself
through the pen of the Poet, and the "Requisition For a Berth"
is delivereed.

An enjoyable reading from a writing that bears the magnificence
of a poetic-philosophical grandiose.

Healthy Day, Poet!

Walter,
This is like opening a window of light. A must read.
It's obvious to the senses that it should be kept for all times.
Excellent.

ps: You can mention Barry White anytime!
