The Highest Tide


Life is all about leverage both overt and implied To move the world ever forward and sail the highest tide Subtle it nudges intention exerted our missteps reclaimed It magnifies every action — restoking fortuity’s flame (Dreamsleep: June, 2026) Freeing The Verse To have a poem but not the words To bring the message home Intention firm and feelings clear But silence sits the throne Awaiting vowels and consonants regifted from a sage A marble block of verbiage to sculpt upon the page And once each phrase has taken form it’s wed to feelings true To free the verse that faithful waits — unheard inside of you (Dreamsleep: June, 2026)
