My ship sailing motionless - <br />I felt that I'm blessed with a notion <br />of being placed in a divine place, <br />an ocean high above the earthly ocean <br />on which cruising clouds crowded as <br />hyacinths floating on a windy surface. <br /> <br />Icebergs peaking high, their snowcaps <br />threatening a tremendous wreck, yet <br />I found that foamy type froth - smooth <br />to trade through, palpable and so near <br />still untouchable, my wishes remained <br />unquenched. I remained in a motionless ship. <br /> <br />This gateway to the galaxy opened <br />an ecstatic horizon - dream to reach <br />that ethereal level, sun grinning, beaming <br />on floating aquatics, I marveled the wonder <br />of finding a hovering fantasy so real, so high <br />above the ocean to find my ocean of clouds; <br /> <br />So near to God, this Godly attire the sky <br />wore with a floor of heavenly mosaic <br />on a nautical platform of billows of plumes, <br />an entity being hidden from the terrain below. <br />So elated, blissfully engulfed and domain of peace <br />prevailed upon my engrossed mind and soul apiece. <br /> <br />Enchantment soon was over, back again to my haven <br />I often take repose; still swim in that oceanic heaven.<br /><br />Gautam Sen<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/an-ocean-above-the-ocean/
