Clairty

There is a loud silence
that drowns out the
quiet noise carried
along by the warm chill
borne from the calm
of the raging sea
deep above the surface
of its center
looking out over
its vast smallness shining
bright in the dark
light from the stars below.

That silcence speaks with me
about the present past
and future present
casting out against
that dark light within,
preconceived notions
and stifling principles--
their invisible
reflections seen
clearly in the muddy
waters of the
raging sea in my mind.
