Over the unbroken fetch the southerly breeze

raises the channel in wind driven swells

passing through the rumpled water

wind shapes surging in rounded layers

seeking comfort on the slope rocked point

like those waves that traverse the soul

memories older than life

visions of another world

pushing like the wind to find form

in depths of inner ocean

rising and falling as surely

as the beckoning sea

longing to step into the swell

take flight with the wind

seeking through the surge

for a further shore.
