Sometimes too heavy
My heart, to lift up
Although there might be
A biological answer to it
Still, I like to think
So full to the brim
It spills over in tears
So that I know
It is time
To share it
With someone
Feeling empty..
Sometimes

My grieving for loss of
You changed me
But I'd never want
To change back
Sink in
Silvery blue sheen
A veil covering
Wild creatures deep
Rising to shallows
Flash past my feet
Ray of speckled flight
Effortless grace
Takes my heart skipping
Into the waves
Arise completely changed
On becoming
Belonging can be
A divided word
Home on one side
Ownership the other
How to become mine
Alone?
Through ancient eyes
These trees have seen it all
Though shores have known much more
Trying
Do not try,
Pipes chorus -
To compete,
It’s not a game,
Chides a waiter -
With the apple
Of her eye.
Devotion decades deep
While you are merely
A drop in her sea.
Constant, awash
A reed among kelp forest
Slowly disappearing
Taste of salt tears
Sweat of remembrance
Incomparable to the love
She plucked from tender
Young tree
Unfathomable beauty
Torn between keeping
Surface undisturbed vs
Diving right in
Instead I gaze
Every passing day
Looking beyond reflection
Still waters run deep
Making waves
When we meet
A standing wave
Between two tidal streams
Going different ways

Begging for footnotes in the story of your life
Tolerate it ~ song by Taylor Swift
Big sky sea
In all your stories
In that universe of yours
I noticed, you're alone
Haunted by voices
Evading natural horrors
Sense of place strong
As if wedded to landscape
Betrothed to the sea
Enamoured by creatures
A sensory plea
Once raging storms settle
Sunrise warms skin
Will one day a touch
Be welcomed in
Count the stars of heaven
