(After A. B. ‘Banjo’ Paterson’s “Ambition and Art“)
Style
I am the vessel that boldly glides
through seas uncharted,
chiseling shadows on open sides
where craft is started.
Splitting the distance from east to west
in measured portions
calms the peripheral ocean crest
without distortions.
Tossed on the shore of Eternity
where dreamscape thrashes,
trust an alliance of form and free
to salvage crashes.
Substance
Come to me under the stars and bring
your shining essence.
Nothing uncommonly bright takes wing
without your presence.
Whisper the secrets celestials tell
behind the curtain,
music and magic to gently quell
the lust for Certain.
Consciousness voyages wispily,
its scent alluring,
flooded in fathoms of mystery
through time enduring.
