heaven's shoal

"i watch the night sky while standing before the ocean. have you ever thought what they both see? while gazing upward the ocean has a perfect view of all of heaven. and heaven? well, when you consider what she sees it's like she staring into a mirror. both attuned to each other only not... heaven is all they both really see." -- Robert Anderson
 
heaven's shoal

it's as though i must
paint from the very view
which all of heaven sees
while gazing down to
the ocean's shoal

and as i
meagerly attempt to convey
how you reflect these
blue fragments of me
undyingly from the crevices
of my soul,
i yearn for you... yearn
for only
you
and cry

the darkened shades of your
majesty imply to me
that you're as i have always been,
am, and ever will be
for the sake
of my ambiguous dreams

you are my own
inner secret
self

i love you

Well if I didn't say it before I'll say it now... I am totally moved.
This is one of your finest.
