Reverie

The sea is joyous 
An amalgam of Khachaturian and Monet
We sail in completeness 
Alone my boat and I
A rhythmic wondrous adventure 
To the horizon of tomorrow

Random thoughts
Embrace the day
Retracing the years
Wandering my lifescape 
On tiptoe

Regretting things  
Done and undone
Wishing to change the unrepairable
Knowing consequence turns
Pages irrevocably
Acceptance

A wraith is my companion
Amorphous yet present  
Ever increasing in density
A blurred image gaining focus

In softly sonorous loving tones 
It speaks to me
Of my life 
Gently telling
My journey
Simply addressing
Its myriad faults and rare positives

As the timeless day wears on 
Vibrant blue to opalescence
I sense an ease 
Lightness 

With infinite grace the cosmic alchemy
Has created a single being
I am become the wraith

I have been taken by the hand  
My scarred and battered life accepted
My eternity has begun 
In peace

Both this and "Morpheus' Potion" have a deep, reflective nature, which leaves me feeling exactly that: deeply reflective. Thank you, for it does me good, though the thoughts flow every which way, sometimes to some dark places, sometimes just the opposite.

particularly partial to “an amalgam of Khatchaturian and Monet”. I can’t think of much better together, thought there are likely equal pairings. Nicely done.
