Poemme Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 Ebony skin from the past From the sun from his mother This man fixed in the sun The mind chasing the fish Watching the water from the beach The gap between the mind and the dream. The idea It came like a lone cloud across the sea And the fragrance Jasmin and mangos on the ground Dreams sometimes lie quietly nearby The sleeping lamb curled on itself. The dried out palm frond Floating on the water Spotted with yellow blossom From the far off island Dried and bowed by the sun After it fell from the tree. Graceful on the water As it was in the breeze The way the water carried it From moment to moment. Across the water To claim the other island. With its yellow blossom And siren song There was music there Where he knew only drums A way to sail there In a hollowed out Koa tree.
