Blue angels and Whales

Blue Angles and whales
my spirit swims the slip stream with them 
In the azure dappled 
Drifting dreams of them
Under wave 
Thermal Undercurrent 
Lazy lulling in the kelp
until  atlantic rollers thunder
crash me down 
drowning in salt 
sea and sand 
and all the foam of spray 
I am broken shell and drift wood
me on the side lines
Flotsam and jetsam 
Me on the margins
Smiling at the tide turns

Blue Angles and whales
Surround me happy
Float me away, 
lead me to depths
in the midnight slow waters
following shoals 
in the silver shimmer 
to the exquisite 
under-horizon

another horizon, another life, 
seeps perfume from the rose garden walls of heaven, music faraway, kids playing, 
this worlds sepia lustre 
receding in the haze
Somewhere very very far away the sea-children laugh and play in the sparkling waves and leaping spray 

Experience once
