Beginning of an Odyssey

Posted: Nov 1, 2009 Sun 06:02 am     Views: 114    Interacts: 0

What an ocean simmers beneath this monster face

That rises above the sea

From the depths of my unconscious haze

And squarely stares at me



Standing on the shore in forgetful streams

I have left the city

Habitation of constant bewildered dreams

What may be in store for me



Is returning to home and hearth is in my fate

Or I will be consumed by the sea

But Troy is no more and winds perversely rage

I set in my compass and set out the sails
