Buried Treasures

JERRY BROWNING		..FOLLOWING SEAS

Buried Treasures

my sailing days
lay numbered now
I stroll the weathered decks
eyes strain
to gain worn focus
of yard arms’ silhouette

diamonds form
a frigid sky
our wake bleeds
silver streaks
across a calm horizon
and we pray to god
she keeps

an untied line
flaps in the breeze
tapping out the ancient code
to men who trade
a cozy life
for treasures
of the soul

farewell sea mistress
and sweet illusions
i don’t need
your chests of gold

Somewhere in the middle
of the Atlantic ‘89
