Captain Nemo (Part Three)A Poem by John Sullivanthe sea is an immense desert where man is never
lonely
the sea drowns borders a place
where man
can be free
and the sea
is the embodiment
of
a supernatural and wonderful
existence
waves crash upon the cliffs of his mind
of postscripts
and present tense
but the Living Infinite awaits
wind in sails
and the Fates
all things pass
it’s a matter of when
there is life in the coral’s glen
the moving finger having writ the course is set the past is inked
let’s us pray
that nature’s creative force is stronger than man’s destructive instinct.
may the water wash us
clean
for all the tides and sorrow
the Earth does not want new continents
but with curious currents
new
men
