....Mangi-nambis...calling from the South Seas...

Blue Dreams
Life’s picked me out
Off the big wide bleu
maybe with some doubt
I still have no shred of clue
hit the ground in the south seas
without any choice, I’s led on
the strangest of journeys
yet curious, fascinated, I’s drawn
I’s all innocence
Led through laughter lane
Discoveries made sense
Felt like that sailor from Spain
Flowers were exotic
Felt like I’s on a picnic
tasting forbidden fruits of romance
learning fundamental lessons
But soon came them pains
first tears stung worse then acid rain
then the scary drain
then through more teary rain
across the river of pain
For a while I’s insane
Passed the valley of shame
Then up the mountain of blame
It seems, to teach me the game
That has so many a name
In search of that holy grail
But trying to softly tread
was such a trial
trying to exorcise greed
without being the cause of grief
for all those I treasured
peace and joy now mattered
felt like a petty thief
was it an attempt in vain?
Ye know, ‘bout that fortune ‘n fame
‘tho I tried again ‘n again
What an elusive prize to claim
For fiery flames
May be the only thing to tame
This endless poem
That flows endlessly….trying to figure out this sad dream…………
through this hazy fog
of confused doctrines
obscuring the destination
I somehow still remember…e’en tho’ now a sad eyed old dog…….
…Ah! but that sea so fine…
…..With an island …….
….on the horizon……..
….with lots ‘n losta sunshine….
That still beckons….is that Zion?
