Rocking Notion Blue
by L Cruz III
2003
Today I navigate my craft
Through smoky limitations
past.
Once, shipwrecked dreams on reeves of doubt
Had taunted me to kick and shout.
My marrow snared by doubt galore,
My focus longing for the
shore;
The splintered me, my burdened oar
Would take me land bound
nevermore.
(Then) Triumphant notion shook my craft
And rocked my reason
fore and aft.
Lit with realization true,
I knew
then what I had to do.
My bottom perched atop the lead,
My foot souls pointing to the
sea,
I let my "self" fall to a braze
And
landed firmly on the waves.
With thinking sailor's point of view,
I stood on rocking notion blue.
The limitations in the sea
Were
just illusions made by me.
My
fear is born when waves collide
One notion true and one contrived.
With
mind agog at logic's door
My lazy stroll brought me to shore.
