Mess Hall

In the mess hall

The food gurgles down

A sludge filled drain

The water hammers the

Sides

Constant as rain

Forks scrape plates

All made the same

The mess halls up late on

The ocean

Advancements Made

Advancements made

Return to grenadine

On a late night

On the ocean wide

Up on the side

We advance we retreat

It comes with the territory

I mean

White Caps

The white caps

Reveal

Rocky roads

Ahead

What’s around the corner

Where the path has lead

Wind at sea

A churning ocean

Caribbean

Motion

I Don’t Think

I am not certain

Or not clear of mind

To know

When is the right time

To ask

Whether I can continue

On a narrow path

Wander of in embarrassment

All the while

I now refuse

To just think

Clearly

Clearly seen

Slightly and keen

Keeping up with the Jones

Is quite a scheme

Borrow and forward

Requires to go back

Clearly seen it’s

A backwards act

We Think

We think

We are happy

We think

We are free

We think

Of opportunity

We think

Thoughtfully

In truth

Or consequence

Are we perceiving reality

Or just contemplating

Insanity

Are we free

Are we full

Of opportunity

Maybe

At best

Not at all

At worst

Deep Blue

Deep blue

And purple

The ocean runs

Smooth

As fertile

Life gives

And ebbs away

The depths of waterways

On the ocean clear

And sky above

A subtle passing of

Both fear and love

Boil it Down

Boil it down

To the simple

Undeterred truth

How uncouth

To lie and deceive

Achieve the goals

That were rolled up

Your sleeve

Boiled down

To simple

Reduction

One stolen

To get wheee you are going
