The Seas Beyond

by S.a.Sunlight

Where is it?
he must have
his porcelain frog
by his side

or else
his cloud barren mind
will not create
the textures of worlds
beyond our vision

seas in our eyes
seas too far to reach
seas that we can feel
he sees beyond

the old deaf one
he was no match
for the clouds and the sky
channeled through
these polytonal hands

such renown
but never look down

and though he was a chinese doll
someone elses hand was pulling strings
only the son of a sailor
can write about the sea

And my how your porcelain frog has broken
and now with the shattering we have lost the token
the way to our dreams of golden seas
the most imporant of so many keys

we could reassemble the pieces
put your entire lifetime back together
but it would never be the same
it would not amount to the same thing
