there is a space on the shore of a great big sea,
it waits for the chance to occupy me.
where waves spread their white foam all around,
and sunshine rays dance from above to the ground.
encircled, for now, in aquamarine bliss,
while my body slowly melts in to sandy abyss.
my mind begins to crumble, i fight to resist
the incoming tide, moons erasure of this.
looking out to the horizon, a fuzzy blue line
separates me from you, a division of time.
and when i look rather close, i think i can see,
the dark outline of the bird who got away from me.
my soul becomes damp, saturated with tears,
so thankful that water can wash away last year.
with my eyes shut tight the only sound i can hear
is the beautiful love song, never again for my ears.
i am transformed into sand under the weight of the guilt
for having burned down the house before it was built.
only one afternoon of emotional frost
was enough to turn to stone the love i had lost.
and what do i have, after all this, to show?
as the water covers my face my body sinks down below
left with the impossible wish our love would regrow
i want to feel the lifeline i need you to throw.
but the line never comes and i'm left drowning alone
in the icy dark recesses, so very far away from home.
green foliage surrounds and imbues me with grace,
overflowing with sensation, warm maternal embrace.
