The Inland Sea in You and Me
My brain is a foggy fever. I still see the old man in the large house by the inland sea. He is sitting in his easy chair star-ing out ahead of time. He thought I took his binoculars but I showed him they were still there. He loves to watch the old seafaring vessels on the wandering waves just above the horizon.
He talks in his silence but he needs his nap. The best option is to imagine floating in between the sea swells. Especially when the moon is full. That way the water can cleanse his mind and cancel his fever. The waves softly whisper in his mind as he falls asleep.
Time doesn't show his thoughts. They are secret only to him. Do we dare ask the magic to show us his thoughts? They have taken care of him and his passion and passed it on to us. Now it's our turn to dream and find the magic. We are abandoned in the moment and it's hallowed.
