Spellbinding

mercurial waters glimmer and sparkle
relentlessly lapping mind's edges, its dark wall
overpowering perception by world wearied eyes
spellbinding, enchanting with comforting sighs

lapping the shoreline, so mesmerizing
liquid seduction's subtle surprising
dynamic and peaceful senses attune
to quiet rhythms of Sun and the Moon

ages and ages are slipping away
into the vast ocean of day after day
vortex and spiral, spinning within
atomic reactions in which we all swim

into the unseen of feelings we feel
into the shared dream in which this is real
towards tomorrow now when it's changed
mercurial waters make me feel strange

expanding, contracting, evaporating
spellbinding, enchanting and no more waiting
lapping the shoreline so mesmerizing
liquid seduction, subtly surprising
