BASS STRAIT STORMS
Discern a
Subtleness, a seasonal
Shift of burning rage,
A righteous willing wild fire.
This under current
burning anger clears the air, not
Bitterness,
not feral fear nor wanton wasted sucking
Quick sands.
Discern, discern,
yes feel
The Intent, openly receive, see, feel
into this rage, then?
dear rest, attune chaotic
storm of cleansing beauty,
clarity clear explodes
Clear seeing red mists,
shrouded, clouded, caverns closed still
This too shall pass,
so open slowly, open ride the writhing decks.
Stand fast secure senses work overtime,
simply peak
Simple trough, simply ride
next swell of swollen crests.
Yes,
yes let nature have her way,
simply surrender to Her Nature,
Wilful wanton wild unrestrained she came,
See, si si and really sea,
surrendered, ride unresisted unrestrained
Buck and bounce as typhoon cyclones next tsunami
Tidal, waves,
Blow,
blow hard on Beaufort scale max out maxim
Prepare to be released in life,
uncertain, un nerved pre paired
Blue veins rise on turgid mast, see mist
no snap, yet,
no holed hull
Ride,
ride dear sailor seamen brave
Hold on let go hold on let go fluid flow let go and
Ride out finer fury
ride out this day delight, regaled
Rest ashore we find we cruise a
Blue lagoon
a sated ebbing tired now now in truth
Our Honey Moon Bay, knotted ropes once
surreal, desire denouement,
a sanctuary now as anchors
Relive relief a bay aweigh.
Her Bottom less depths
Her Calm Centred Eyes, her tropical heat, alive a life
Meridians many; Capricorn Cancer Equator
Lines maps X marks her spot
compass curves her sextant true
Of fearless fathomless stars
Her depths, no no
Not just mere mortals chewed
ripe ripples real,
Her facets many a crazy diamond glaze
mere laughing gales
mere zephyrs
in her witchy wanton ways,
Relax dear seamen, relax and re set sails
Divine, arrived,
divine
An uncaged energy redirected
now motions me a
Gain and again and a gain
as salty unfurled ropes in rigging rise her sails
A gain a
Gain
Unfurl in rigging,
unfurl in sheets,
unfurl in tiller tomb hands of “land ahoy!”
See see bow spirit crows nest high
“Captain, there she blows”
as whale spout breathes deep
Azure blue, harpoon sharpened for the chase
a stinging cyclic maiden sea,
Land lubber landed gentry knot in his domain,
Deranged unhinged she flaunts she flourish
Quick quick mermaid magic a flighty tale of seamen seized
Full Sensual, full feeling scales quay board
full bodied creamy crests and
Swollen depths
release now oceanic
more life, more depths dive dive down under
These Waves
quick quick captain crew
quick quick come, hear, go a
Bout, re
Turn return and secure mist a Murmuring maiden
Slips quietly underneath
Slips aweigh a
Gain
To witness, to see, to feel this majesty.
Welcome Home
our dear dear full blooded mist
Murmured, harboured, hushed,
she spent, she skin now art full saturated,
Full now of morning dawn and smiling sated
Grace.
