Poem 2001- Rest

In the days of winters white
the chilling air can ignite
the burning desire to journey afar
to lands of blue sky and gleaming stars
Where yearnings warm at the depths of cold
to spring anew
yet so bold
upon the grains of shells old with history
where liquid seas beckon
come into thee
Afloat a warm yet
winter dream wave
rest comes to this weary slave.
