Beyond the Real

First written in July 2009 at Jacksonville Beach, Florida

After writing this, I walked out to the beach and found

what I now know to be a Portuguese Man of War.

Stunningly beautiful in its otherwordliness.

Beyond the Real

The World is wide

Beyond the Real All life abides

The waves are big

The light is bright

The morning fades away

The night

Beyond the Real

The Soul abides

Patient

Waiting

Life's own tides

Beyond the Real
