Time
Ocean of scattered words of poem.
Sea of tiny shreds of thought.
Still wondering which ones will rhyme
Which ones I save
I'll take some time...
Oh see them march to the depths
Disordered steps
Words twirl, wind, encircle, dance, disengage, assemble
Thoughts hold these stable
But gently
And all settle quietly in a plate of prose
Here you go maester
Your Poetry served cold
At the bottom of this Ocean
