mahogany, your warm banister

how you glide

through my hand

off to what new untroubled

place

does my mind settle to stand

the ageless ocean before me

staring back like one great

luminous blue eye

she knows each of my shuttering soul's

desires

yet she calls only to the peace in my mind

the Egyptians they knew it best

the grand scale virtues of their prized

amorous Nile

her waters soothingly placated the spirits

of the sick

while their bodies bathed and drank from her

never ending grace, all a smile

the oceans enigmatic gander bamboozles my

cachet of fantasies

I lose myself in the ebb and flow of her latest

tide

only to become yet just another add on to

further the far reaches of her calming

'Sea Stem'

knowing I'd leave happiest from this place

if right now I died................
