Forever in a Day

Fast asleep by midmorning
I dream of never waking
of sailing past an open sea

My shell is like a water vessel
blending into the horizon
melting into a fiery sun

Transforming into nature
I stay awake forever
casting hope into a dark night

april two thousand twelve

Oh, this one is amazing! As a sea lover , I have always found the ocean to be a great metaphor for the flow of life. I also would love to stay forever in this poem. Thanks so much!
