oh immeasurable bounty
a net of twinkling stars
cast over and over all
we can reach with trembling
fingers, wide open mouths
agape, aghast, at sea at last
the flood spears the heat as
we spread our glass-like wings,
we fly away
we seek the blush of autumn
and solace from the sun
Wonderfully atmospheric Stu, and you've got me intrigued.

Enchanting Stu, and I like the use of Oh, open and over to give a sort of open - mouthed sense of wonder to the piece.
Highly effective. I wasn't sure if glass-like wings represents sails or not. Excellent stuff.

Just plain lovely, with a thrilling choice of words: 'agape, aghast, at sea at last' is fabulous, followed by 'glass' and 'solace' Real wordsmanship. (My computer doesn't like that word - tough!)

Good graciousness, Stu..the net cast above rather than below? Surely, this is the true wage of any fisherman cast to sea.
