Imagination

Here is great marvel to behold. Probably a favorite landmark of mine. It is found from within. Oh here holds destinies and here is where undiscovered memories are created.

This is the spot where a ship's captain calls sails to be open wide. Here is the place for the watchmen to gaze upon the water's surface for any curious sea creatures wanting a royal ship for a snack.

Here is where the captain is actually a woman searching the earth for her lost lover. No one is deceived, for she plays the role of a seaman well. Her hair kept brief, and cheeks left bare.

She inherited her sea legs from a long line of fishermen. Once, long ago, she used to twirl in skirts and slippers, but now she marches in heavy boots.

Even though she isn't clothed in powder, her beauty hasn't faded. Her face is enhanced by dirt and salt. She appears to have grown hard, and frightening....but her heart remains tender these long aching years of tracking down her lover.

At this same place, her lover is on distant shore taking down dragons. His crew was shipwrecked long ago. He has forgotten the day, along with the taste of wine...yet, remembers his fair one. She remains to be the forefront of his thoughts.

This is the place where nothing separates true love. Right here in my very own imagination.
