Eterna Oceana

Dead Souls drift across oceans of time
their life lessons waving like winds,
attempting to calm the storms of life.

Below them, our lives rush like currents
crashing, joining, and parting in deep blue,
as lonely wanderers make calls out.

They weep not for loved ones very long.
As sea quiets their cries with age,
they pass gladly to ones gone before.

All continues as it always has
crystal waters wax and wane,
looking for balance but finding none.


True Philosophy

Abstract thoughts waft through minds
of philosophers great or small.
They hide not from things unknown,
embracing all sides of issue.
They revel in all sized conflicts
not missing the point,
nor ripping at the base of truth searching.
They love Athena.
Through curiosity, they know the heart.
