| CHARTING THE CYBER SEA |
| | ||||||
| ||||||
| Nomadic mariners set adrift ~ faceless names in failing ships ~ endless tacks with little breeze ~ lonely barques on a cyber sea. Two bows brush in darkest night ~ two hands touch in briefest flight ~ two souls meet unwittingly ~ explorers adrift on a cyber sea. Two crafts merge as a single ship ~ wanderers joined in passion's grip ~ hidden spirit entities ~ loosely anchored on a cyber sea. Grasping sailors cling ‘til dawn ~ when breath and site both are gone. Love's mystery carved so brutally ~ forever separated on a cyber sea. Spectral lovers fleeing their pasts ~ two bleak futures lashed to the mast ~ return to port as love’s debris ~ floating…..burning on a cyber sea. | ||||||

| Anytime Lushi you dear friend. :-D the picture to to me, is two people talking but unable to get near to each other, the shimmering depicts the sometimes fragile nature of internet relationships, and how frustrating it can be. Hmmm maybe my imagination is too deep. |

| Very evocative description...ships that pass in the night...a moment of insight, a touch, an elusive treasure found and lost...dissipating as it is grasped...and in the background the relentless, uncaring sea. |

| "Skill'd in the globe and sphere, he gravely stands, And, with his compass, measures seas and lands." Nicely done Lushi! 8-) |

| Still a great piece of verse, years after its composition.

| Says it all so well, so completely! It is both expressive and perfect as the beautiful poem that it is. You have captured the moment.
