XVI or "Nonsensicalities"

I left my mind in a cherrywood boat.
I asked it to sail without me.
But to always write of its grand
Adventures at sea.

I watched the spark of life
Die in the glimmer of a
Fourth of July sparkler
That burned my hand.

I found my heart lying in a fallen leaf.
Beating red against the autumn orange
Trying desperately to
Get back inside.

I heard your declaration from a humming bird
Flying busily outside my window.
He told me of your conviction
And we talked for hours.

I climbed the tree of your mind
And swung from each branch.
Wondering when mine would return
From its oceanic vacation.
