tying the knots

This one is for Chris S.

tying the knots

 

 

 

the marina is still tonight

a few ripples,

sides of boats banging softly against the docks

of eternity

 

there is rhythm to the peace

the aroma of plates filled with delicacies 

because anything consumed rocking on the water

is gourmet

to those who love the sea

 

the salty smell of relaxation

the intensity of the sky

and what is free

 

the nights produce a display of stars

a gift of the moon

shadow dancing

with the planets

 

the marina is still tonight

the ripples cease

the boat rests

 

we endure restful sleep

like we are not used to

 

wishing we could sail into eternity

on this dream.

And to those that don't it is spew, recollecting the days of youth when I worked in a sailing yacht, a floating resort of sorts. Stanza four sparkles and pirouettes. With the sails down there is deafening silence.

Two really terrific lines mixed in with all the truly fine: there is rhythm to the peace, and
the salty smell of relaxation

Well done, Jacob
