Resillient

susurrus of the sea beckoned,
starched, awash in brine,
battered, dizzy at the helm,
wind-whipped, countenance corroded,
sun-dried, hardened at the edges,
decaying, rough-hewn of the Ages,
replenish, inter me where the tide is High

Wandering

tho was done by no fault of me,
I was begun in the West,
turned loose from there to wander
where e’er He directed,
and for all ‘s come since then,
will know my rest in the East

Gossamer

whence they come
mine tender thoughts?
adrift a gossamer breeze
of heaven’s hand,
or, perchance a summer moon?
what pokes and prods
relentless stirs
arouse me turn a loon?
me thinks tis them
come sure of mindless pen
danced of parchment Swoon
