Analysis of Cradled
calmly floating on a wobbling sea,
carried almost weightlessly,
aware of and simply surrendering
to the waves' caressing appeasement
in their marine cadency.
in the dark below appears a sparkling
of brightly colored mystical life
its rhythmical greetings whirling
at the sun's motherly smile
silent tears of joy are mixed
with this most generous salty lap
a moment long of comforting peace
like an awareness beyond death
