To The Depths......For Dan

This man on the sea
A friend to my soul
Though we never met
on a physical plane
He knew the depths of my
soul
Better and before I did

To the Depths.....

Rolling sea
He rode her connected to his
vessel, friend
Rocking and swaying
to the beat of his
mama Ocean
Moving away from the
hard realities of the
jagged land
Finding the peace
of the silver
siren sea

To the Depths....

Away from the noise
The confusion he
shed out there suspended
on the sea
The answers he discovered
in the cadence of the
waves
The rhythm of the rain
The whispers of
the wind
And the screaming
of the gale force
gusts

To the Depths.....

Man on the sea
Soul at peace
Smile on his face
Pen in hand perhaps
Laughter and friends
Sailing in song
Long days
Starlit nights
Peace for the man who
gave it to me

His, on the silver siren
sea

To the Depths....

Beautiful woman...
wife
Surrounded by souls she
knows
Spreading the ashes of the man
on the sea
He, there now.....with the
whales and the gulls
Envbed with his mama
Ocean
No longer on the sea
Now...a part of her
silver soul

To the Depths......
