While sitting amongst the 18th Century Danish ruins on the island of St. John in the Virgin Islands, I was inspired to write a poem:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Night shot above Waterlemon Cay on St John, USVI<\/p><\/div>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Drunk inside a lucid dream<\/span><\/h3>\n

Drunk inside a lucid dream<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Bright sky blue anneal my lids<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Sun glare searing, prying, baking<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Welcome wind whirling, sating<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Green upon green, life\u2019s redoubt<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Smugly assail shrines to man<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Ancient warfare at glacial speed<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Sprigs of vigor making sand<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Sky sculpted by wind and cloud<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Denizens immersed in airy mass<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Swim on atmospheres\u2019 heady foundation<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Soaring, climbing, swirling and searching, going no where someplace fast<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Out of the oven, shaking off sweat\u00a0<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Eating colors with my mind yet\u00a0<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Shadows hide shades of grey that harbor gradients of black decay<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Spectrums succumb to the waning sun the dying the day is finally done<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Time is gliding, creaking and corroding<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Melting, bleeding, sputtering and foaming<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Polished reality spews a fluid focus<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Of dreamland impulses drowned in glorious numbness.<\/span> \u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n
