Date:
Fri, 1960-01-01 My soul in its bondage wrestled
To rise above the humdrum things,
I knew not how to quell this
Restlessness, within me.
Till I sat upon the beach
Watching the constant waves;
Drowned in moonlight was I
Till I felt enveloped
In a moonshine membrane
Encircling me and the
Florescent waves.
While the star spangled membrane
And the cool heavenly winds
Wrapped me in an anesthetic softness
My soul made its escape.
Intoxicated by Nature
And the sweet strains of music,
I awaited the return of my restless soul.
While I sat upon the beach
‘T was not my restless soul
That to its bondage return;
But from its sublime Heights
Subsiding like a gentle sigh
Within my being,
My immortal companion,
Soothed temporarily.
