waves

waves they crash me to and fro

rushing rifts they trap me

in this hard core ebb and flow

sea urchins circling,

no deep sea lore

digging from the deep

leaving me gripping for fairest core

all the while…

sailboats in distance make love to the wind

as swells catch up to the horizon

with slow ascend

i ready for the course, hopeful

yet grim

unsure whether to dive

or simply jump in

i still my thoughts,

looking to the shore

as buoyancy stares back at me

sand castles hiding there

sweet little testaments

whispering from the moor

these waves they still me

crashing this to and fro

til sensibility whispers,

come

i’ll show you just where to go….
