far gone seas

embracing aether tendril tugs
while whispering my wishes
back to me, offering
drifts in calmer currents
drifts off to far gone seas

some days i dream of dying
others, i know already that i have
been dying for decades

just a silver slip and falling
her arms catch, on gentle wings
to carry me, bringing
drifts in calmer currents
drifts off to far gone seas

    Sometimes it seems good to Heed the Siren’s song…
    Great piece, Michael.

      It’s tempting to look for a hotspot on a rocky shore at times, let me tell you. Thank you, Chris.
