Once I see a light so silver and warm and baffling
I ache to capture it
Gaining access to my soul
I dance with the moon
Mingling, masquerading, making memories with
Stars.
Midst cries of billowing rocketing birds
I fall in love with
The sea.
The sea.
It is my heart, this sea.
It is tears flung outward and down from heaven
Come to heal me
I bid farewell to the ashes of my one true love.
The rapacious, thrummingly violent, and enigmatic sea.
ASHES FOR MY HEART

Once I see a light so silver and warm and
baffling
I ache to capture it
Gaining access to my soul
I dance with the moon
Mingling, masquerading, making memories with
Stars
Midst cries of billowing rocketing birds
I fall in love with
The sea
You see
It is my heart, this sea
It is tears flung outward and down from heaven
Come to heal me
As I bid farewell to the ashes of my one true love
The rapacious, thrummingly violent, and mysterious sea.
