the sea and i (a poem)

0

the sea and i

are one

we float

gaze at the sky

we see ourselves

stars shining brightly

we rise

we reach, reach

for the stars

we try

we’ve been together

since

a long long time ago

we’ve lived forever

no one

no one ever knows

that

the sea and i

are one

we travel on

rolling on, rolling on

viewing the mountains

emerald spots of green

longing for calm

longing to stay

the stars keep on calling

we must go their way

the stars have their way

the sea and i

are one

we fly

fly to the heavens

shining in the heavens

we are our mirror

gazing down below

we watch ourselves going, rolling

we watch

the sea

and i.

The Sea (a poem)

0

 

waves

rolling, lolling, rushing

brine white crests

mounting high

higher

meet the shore

i stand

alone

waves lapping at

toes, ankles, knees

rising

a warming coolness

seeps into me

engulfing

washes over me

waters run

through me

cleansing

quenching

filling empty spaces

the void in me

murmurs with sea

moaning

softly crying

watching

waiting

for moon to shine

tenderly to

caress the weariness

gently

softly

breezily

tears ebb

with the tide

join the sea

brine within brine

sinking to fathomless depths

i ebb drop

by drop

i join

the sea.
