Sea of the Edge
Here where reason and madness
Excel their margins,
Genius stands upon the crest of a wave
Where the map ends
And the vast unknown,
Filled with danger
Monstrously lurks.
Here acts of enlightenment and courage
Are a daring proposition
Encompassing both madness and genius
In the Sea of the Edge.
A place where limits are tested
And the narrow edge is a delicate home
For the souls who prosper there
And a definite hell
For those who become lost
And fall in this sea
Where the waves toss
Like the blades of a knives
Whose edges are keen
As life dangles itself forward dangerously
To be lived to the fullest
At high speed.

Southern Sea
In a hospitable clime
On nights when magnolia blossoms
Sweeten the air
And the Moon glows
In a clear sky
A plenitude of peace
Pervades the moment
And the abundance of grace
Manifests in the waves of charm
That emanate from this sea,
Graciously gifting the earth
With soft summer nights
......................
Sea of Moisture
Rain and mist are ceaseless
As the waves of the sea of Moisture roll
With the Light of Nature
That nourishes the fields
And waters the soul
In the nights of heavy moisture
Where yods of Moon fire
Rain down upon Earth
And are captured in the retort
Of the psyche,
Those moon drops brewed
Into the silver and gold of imagination.
............
Sea of Showers
The mountains and the valleys
In the waves of the Sea of Showers
Are scoured with a rain of glorious light
That expands in albescence
As the high tide of night
Washes across the sky in torrents
Of luminosity ............
Sea of Cleverness
There is a brilliant flair to these waves,
An ingenuity
Of quick-wittedness
As the adroit moonlight
In all of its brilliance
Gifts the moment with intelligence
And the waves dance away
Through the aethers
With exquisite cleverness.
