open sea
unfrozen this breastless pond beckons
to ancient mountains whose lamps
direct the winds of torn sails
restless in the shoreline abyss
of distant cliffs trapped in
afterglow
of waning peace
open sea
“We need the tonic of wildness...At the same time that we are earnest to explore and learn all things, we require that all things be mysterious and unexplorable, that land and sea be indefinitely wild, unsurveyed and unfathomed by us because unfathomable. We can never have enough of nature.” ― Henry David Thoreau
