starting to put pieces together
along the bank I walk
I must
swim I could
but sail I must
wandering over to this scrap and the next
picking them up and carefully
oh so carefully
adding them to the rest
I take out from my jacket pocket
dazzling white
my sail
which sewn with threads of thoughts
and a sheet of dreams (not yet written on)
and here with scraps of my soon past
and my always never reached future
I head out again on the mighty sea of change
sailing into the vast,
but never lost
for above my head unchanging (no matter where my pillow be)
are the heavens
they guide me
the moon
it pulls me
the sun
it warms me
and the sea breeze...
whispers sweets into my ear
no matter where raft or feet might go

this is amazing!
i love all the imagery--it's almost as if the scraps are sea foam. and the "sheet of dreams (not yet written on)"=great! and the unchanging heavens.
BRAVO! i love it. =D
I second Stormi. This poem is really good. The words all evoke what is happening beneath them.
and that one goes on the green wall in my room. i'm a fan.
