Reaching up into
all that universe
arms outstretched
towards all that is blue
foraging through thoughts
and fresh aspirations
like black berries
from a wizened vine
so they may stain my
minds fingers
to sit unstirred and
stay in my brain
in a steeping brine
where nothing is mine
i drift unfurled
taking all in stride
freed from time
adrift
upon a starlight tide
