Bright Lights Off

 

Actress aboard a cruise ship,

Bright lights distant

Calling on false sun-Gods

Descending towards a light house.

 

Every once in awhile she stops... waits...

Feeling the earth yet floating on water

Graciously grateful for a fisherman's miracle.

Her honey sweet smile shines like sun in the horizon.

 

Islands pray for her to be deserted there,

Jaded they are aware of her rare radiance.

Kicking the winds, she

Laughs lovingly against the storm.

 

Mermaids sing songs to her mythological majesty,

Now she acknowledges them with a wave of her hair.

Oceans part - creating effects superior to Hollywoodm

Pure - powerful - poignant.

 

Qualms unknown

Reeling in a picturesque scene

Suddenly she jolts-lightning

Trembling with reality.

 

Universal truths

Visions of lies.

Water trickles

X-rays upon her consciousness.

 

You smile as I sleep,

ZZZZZ... dreams can come true.
