Sky and Sea

He is the sky

Endless

Beautiful

He can make you feel free

Floating and soaring

He is everywhere

And no where

All at once

 

But he can never hold you

 

He is much too distant

 

If he is the sky

Then she the sea

 

Stormy and restless

Comforting to some

Praised for her beauty

And unpredictable nature

she holds fast

Drowning

Pulling down and pulling back

 

But she can never hold you.

 

She is much too indifferent for that.

 

Some say the sky is blue because of the depth of the sea

Others argue that the water is a mere reflection of the atmosphere above it

 

Some say that his laugh isn't genuine unless she provoked it

Others argue that she isn't herself unless he's around.

 

there are few things more breathtaking

Than where the sky meets the sea

The fine line where two different hues of blue

Fade into each other

the most beloved horizon

That could never be reached.

 

And I believe

That is how

He and she

Are together.
