I swallowed the sea
And it was as salty as your lips
And just like the endless forever that falls from them
I was drowning in it

You called my number
And I took it as a sign
Living life free on the wind
And though paths were walked not a footprint remains

All is lost in time and time always wins
Moments make minutes mask months into seasons of lives everlasting
I cherish the wind for the calm only it can bring
And the shoreline renewed by the waves that crash into it

This moment may not last forever
But who can say when moments start or end?
A moment is forever for as long as it’s remembered
Live inside it and you’ll always be in a place you left behind

Genuine abandon
First comes and then is lost
Broken, bound, and wounded
Heal stronger but never without the scars

Pure dreams forever shaken
A chance shot but not worth taking
Secured oneself at the cost of whats been taken
A life that closes opens another in the making
A little free form piece I wrote while staring out at the sea about the opposing feelings and lessons I’ve learned in life and the way they all balance out dynamically over time.
