Marine Layers of the Morning Mind

The shrubs looked back, darkened eyes

A path unseen, squinted, in full moon light

Heavy lids rolled over rocky foot and toes,

Steps in path of a journey to the soul

I n’er detest, the marine layers of the morning mind

Up & up with no prompted noise save for the dove,

Cyclical dispersal of angled rays

Rotational edge of the dawned hour,

In the wind, the global goals blow - checked, off

Again, the clouds tasked to carry 

as are we -

The water of the wind, wiser we wonderfully stumble

Wet and dry - another try and cry -

How will the Earth receive our falling and rising action

Today…

How heavy, this hindered weight

of a world so detached,

Through glass, my light moves 

as points of liberation a-mixed waves of despair

both at once - a quantum coin - flips,

How spend I, this currency of unknown value

And who flips the state of being,

A desire of certain chaos, platonic and expansive
