Wrote this before the Marine Corps sent me across the sea to Japan
THE WIND ACROSS THE SEA

    Though I travel to a far off land
You still can take hold of my hand
With the vision that the Mind's eye sees
To be shown the wonders across the sea.
If in your heart there's a place for me
Then we shall apart, never be
Remember things we have done and do
And I'll always be a part of you.
Past, present, and how it's going to be
We're on our minds like a photo's memory.

    Recall the words of the lyric poets' rhyme
A tape, first-aid for the Soul, in-time
That I made and left behind for you
Fused-intonated-rhetoric, set to music too!
Floating like the lost papers of a school girl
Lost, blowing in the Wind, uproar and swirl
With the Sun's irradiation shining kind
On the paper, words and symbols of the mind
The letters, the working tools of our thought
Gathered from the Wind, only as they're caught!
This he told the woman whom he called his wife
Is the Conceptual Continuity of your life
That leads along that Long and Winding Road
To the Doors of Perception in that abode
Beyond The Wall, of Illusion
And the precepts of confusion.

    Open your eyes now, what do you see?
Standing at the center of Eternity!
From here you may choose any path with heart
For the rest of your life, and then you start,
The Sea of Multitude's paths to cross
Whom flow and ebb from your life with the current's toss
Leaving only the memories of their footprints
In the sands of Time, naught a dent
And like the Wind across the Sea
It's message is:  to Let It Be!

    For when Our paths cross once again,
We will walk them together, till its end.
