Sails and Mirrors/ Reflections In The Wind
Like poetry
and prose
elequently mounted
from the yardarms
in spirit flight
with Mayan stardust
and all the colors of butterflies.
Moonlight
caresses them
sunlight embraces them
as they reach
for mysteries
too thin
for the human eye.
Wind-spun gowns
delicatly trimmed
for roach and camber
sing the pure truths of propulsion
while songs of joy and curiosity
gleefuly intoxicate
thirsty ears.
In slow dream-motion
over a liquid dance floor
they flirt with the supernatural
and offer temptations to reach
unreachable horizons
somehow reflecting
our divine imaginations
Slowly beating like drums
in rhythmic simplicity
they soon whisper
aerodynamic metaphors
of a sublime sojourn
tacking us across the waves
shimmering inside the heart.
Fires ignite, then glow
inside body, mind and soul
now fully-rigged
with passion and purpose
to sail over that abyss
which separates
us from ourselves
Our sails then take our breath
and become like mirrors
reflecting a polished inner language
of wind, water, wonder
and awe
finally letting us see
who we really are.
