                                               The wide inverted bowl at horizon
                                    My head spinning before the vortex of it all
                                           Those incessant approaching watery funnels 
                                           Their siren cries against sloping sands
                                    Your loveliest of faces
                                    Your golden hair swirling amongst tide pools
                                    Your slender arms and legs against fathomless currents
                                    Your eyes dazzling from the holy phosphorescence
                                            Once more at the water’s edge
                                            Here since shortly after that beginning
                                             The deep abyss abiding
                                            With promises made
                                            More than expected kept
                                      Sailboats skim a burnished mirror
                                      Wave riders slide down unfurling miens of silver
                                      Greased creatures beached supine and shimmering 
                                      Dusk walkers riven silent at tideline
                                      All wait the transmuting colors 
                                      Under gathering cumuli
                                      In anticipation of that final descent 
                                      We who cry out to our maker
                                              We who don’t believe
                                              The same we who sense there is something
                                       Spoken in that instant we glimpse the green light
                                       Our light life roiling down the backside of time
