I told you
to put the masts up
to set sail
to the seas
of all you ever
hoped for

I told you to go into the
deep
into the rocky blue of
infinity
that is
nature's lullaby

And then I shouted to you to
let go
of all the anchors
the weights
the sandbags holding
you down so that
you could
float into
the night
without the burden
of your
pasts

and as I sank into the
hazy blue
the foggy murk of
uncertainty-
the final,
seventh sea
I realized
you had dropped me

a dash in a bucket,
a bead in an ocean,
a tiny piece who loves you and
is heart break in
fluid motion

it's then I learned I was the weight
and that your ship had been set free.
